"Usborne Phonics Readers have been created in consultation with a language expert, taking into account the latest research on the most effective ways of teaching reading. Children who have just learned to read can enjoy the lively stories with very little guidance from an adult, gaining the expereience and enthusiasm they need to become fully confident readers."

 

"Stephen Cartwrights's delightful illustrations complement the text and are designed to stimulate further interest. Two fold-out pages add to the enjoyment."

 

The inside cover includes an explanation on how phonics reading works, explains synthetic phonics, the difference between regular and irregular phonics words, and gives some suggestions on how to help the early reader with new words.

 

This phonics reader is about Fat Cat that has a bee bugging her. She chases it up a tree, but gets into trouble. And a nest of birds eggs fall on top of Big Pig's head. Fat Cat takes the eggs and nest to keep them warm while sitting on a mat where the eggs hatch.
