Description
A hilarious story to inspire very beginner readers. Based on the principles of synthetic phonics, supports the "Letters and Sounds" programme used in thousands of UK primary schools. Adult and child take turns to read, and the child's text introduces the important letter-combinations of the vowel sounds ai ee igh oa
oo (as in "book" and also in "moon"). Fun puzzles test understanding, and provide opportunities for discussion and further reading practice.

Reviews
Thank you, Usborne, for producing a series of books that really work, that see story and content as important as skill level, and are genuinely engaging for children (and adults- I'm having a great time too!) Thank you for teaching my daughter to read. * Rhino Reads *
