Each book includes engaging activities that combine reading, spelling, speaking, and drawing:
Partner reading word chains
Word building activities
Yes/No comprehension questions
Read-and-draw tasks (single words and short texts)
Decodable sentences with space to draw a picture
 
Drawing encourages children to reread the sentence, talk about its meaning, and build vocabulary. It provides a natural opportunity for discussion with a teacher or parent, supporting comprehension and oral language development.
 
Skills Developed
 
These books support children to:
Segment sounds to spell words (Build a Word activities)
Blend sounds to read words after building them
Develop phonemic awareness
Strengthen understanding of sound–letter links
Practise phoneme manipulation (changing sounds to make new words)
Build vocabulary and comprehension through discussion
 
The activities intentionally combine reading and spelling to reinforce learning and build confidence.
