This title is part of a set of phonically decodable reading books perfect for very early readers. These expertly levelled non-fiction books are engaging and follow one of the most commonly used validated SSPs in primary schools.

The artwork and photographs are detailed so as not to provide picture cues and prompting. Each book also contains parent’s notes and a ‘talk about it’ task to support children’s oracy, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Thirteen sets of non-fiction books covering groups of sounds to allow for progression.

Ideal for children beginning their phonics journey to support and practice what they learn at school.

Help your child develop a lifelong love of reading with carefully structured phonics stories that build confidence and make learning to read fun every step of the way.
