## Description

An appealing 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 uses only the letters s a t p i n m d plus new letters g o c k ck e u r. Fun puzzles test understanding, and provide opportunities for discussion and further reading practice.
