Who said learning was boring? Children will love learning to read with the witty stories and tongue twisting rhymes in Ladybird's "Phonics". Meet Nat the Cat, Ben's ten hens, and a big pig in a big wig in this fun filled collection of phonic stories aimed at introducing the sounds, a, e and i.
These were really fun and my son could actually read nearly every word, which is great for a phonics book. Many are quite inane, but these stories were really well done. I like the fact that the focus sound (in this case the short "a" as in cat" and the short "i" as in did - or something) is highlighted in red.
