Critical response


Educator Mary Walsh describes the scheme as one which was "strictly regulated, and with little interest in real stories or books": she describes the use of real stories to motivate children who were failing to learn to read on "One Two Three and Away".




Other media


An educational video edition of One, Two, Three and Away: The Village with Three Corners was also released in 1996 by First Independent Video. Directed by Mark Taylor and produced by Bristol-based animation studio A Productions, the video consisted of drawn animation sequences, on screen games and songs. It was executive produced by Dan Maddicott at United Media.
Also available are teachers' notes and activity books, wooden dolls and stamp kits.
In 2023, SEN specialist Emma Hartnell-Baker mapped the books orthographically for dyslexic children, facilitating the development of phonemic awareness and orthographic knowledge. Within Ortho-Graphix IPA aligned phoneme characters are also used to improve orthographic awareness, without detracting from the main focus within the One, Two, Three and Away! series: vocabulary knowledge, comprehension, and reading for pleasure.
