Baby: Incy Wincy Spider rrp £12.99 - Mini IQ price £9.99
Bring the classic rhyme to life by simply pulling the extending
string on this friendly spider’s velvety back. His textured legs crinkle
invitingly and are great for early reaching, grabbing & counting.
Concealed within his tummy is a lovely fabric book. The soft pages
feature a collection of garden creatures with satisfyingly
onomatopoeic descriptions that are just right for reading aloud and
encouraging repetition of sounds.
Toddler: Rosie's Walk with story telling and musical CD £5.99
This classic, simple, near-wordless story is rich in propositions and directional
words,. It’s also a delightful book for emergent readers to enjoy with parents.
Children find it easy to memorise and repeat the text whilst pointing at the
words, so building up confidence.
Pre school: Simple First Phonics rrp £7.99 Mini IQ price £6.99
This gentle introduction uses photographic images to and a wipe clean pen to
develop phonic awareness and knowledge of letters. In simple terms it works on
matching the letter sound with the written letter, at the beginning and the end of
words. It touches briefly on simple vowel blending and double letter sounds
sounds as ‘ee’ and ‘ai’. The activities can be repeated time and time again to instill confidence. And the 26 flash cards are a marvelously effective portable learning tool.
