It is now widely accepted that phonic books and worksheets are the most important educational tools when teaching young children how to read. You should only purchase high quality phonic books which have been written to comply with Department of Education guidelines and standards. One such collection if the Follifoot Farm Blends series, aimed at key stage 1 children up to level four phonics.
The Follifoot Farm collection of books are written and illustrated by respected phonic author Marlene Greenwood. Her previous collection of Jelly and Bean books are used by educational institutions throughout both the UK and Japan and Follifoot Farm introduces new characters and locations to the reader. Book 5 in the Blends series, "The Tent" is the final book in this particular series and upon reaching this book the child will be very familiar with the two main characters Milly and Tilly the pigs.
Milly and Tilly encounter a pig pen on the grass. Inside the tent are lots of ants and the ants quickly climb all over the two pigs. This tickles the pigs and causes them to jump and bang. The tent falls down and the pigs get stuck inside. Their mum and dad quickly come to their rescue.
The story and accompanying illustrations are silly, meaning that they are great fun for the young reader. Despite the fun tale, all the words used to tell this story are 100% decodable so you are assured that the child is reading high quality phonic material. Greenwood has a real skill in writing engaging books that will interest and amuse children (and their teachers) and this is quite rare in phonic publications.
This is a high quality series of Phonic Books. Books 1-5 incorporate phase 2, 3 and 4 phonics which children will find they can master with guidance from their teacher. The Blends series is a welcome addition to Greenwood's collection of phonic publications.
