Scholastic Set: 01
Title: Tap It In
Focus: a t p i n
Tricky words: the is
Book Band: Pink A
This title is part of a brand new set of phonically decodable
reading books perfect for very early readers. These expertly
levelled stories are engaging, and are exactly matched
to Little Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised, used in schools across
the UK.
The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive
stories, accompanied by bright, contemporary and humorous
illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers with
a 'find the character' feature on each spread.
The artwork is detailed so as not to provide picture cues and
prompting. Each book also contains parent's notes and a 'retell
the story' task to support children's oracy, vocabulary
and comprehension skills. Thirteen sets of books covering groups
of sounds to allow for progression.
The stories in this set focus on the sounds found in Scholastic
Set 01. There are thirteen sets in total, covering:
