Readers 1x-10x are 10 new stories, set at the beginner level (as 1-10).  These were requested by teachers to provide children with more practice on simple sounding words before moving on to the next level (11-20) with its many digraphs.

Without introducing any new spelling principles, the Readers 1x-10x provide more long words which can be simply sounded out.

The regular printer’s a is introduced in story 4x.

There are hardly any new special words in the 1x-10x series.  The basic principles of sounding out are consolidated with more sounding words and longer sounding words.

本教材由Fitzroy Community School創辦人Faye Berryman及Philip O'Carroll在過去二十年期間研究發展。他們精細地創作70個故事讀本，書中只使用孩童能自己閱讀的生字。

每一讀本介紹一個新的音標如oy，和一些特殊的生字如said。

每一套各十本讀本，可搭配一本50至80頁練習拼字、基礎文法、和閱讀理解的習作（Word Skill workbook)。

Fitzroy教材同時包含習作解答（Answer book)及讀本1到50的CD。
