The bedtime story your child will love - that quietly weaves in the spelling words they have to learn at school.
If your house knows the Sunday-night spelling list battle, this book was written for you. No worksheets, no highlighted words, no interruptions - just a warm, funny story that happens to contain more than 80% of the 100 Year 3 and 4 Statutory Spelling Words, each used naturally and repeatedly, so the words sink in through story and repetition instead of drills.
The story your child gets: Robert the frog has a big talent. He has a voice like honey-on-toast, milk-and-sugar, soft-sultanas and fairy-dust! But entering the town talent show means leaving the safety of his pond, making the longest journey of his life, and facing two very large, very interested cats. With the help of Milo the mouse, Fernando the bendy cockerel, Chicken Gloria and her tin of biscuits, and a great Pigeon of Positivity called Sid, Robert discovers that the hardest part of any adventure isn't the journey. It's having the courage to begin. A warm, funny and original story about friendship, loyalty, making mistakes, and what it really means to win. Why parents and teachers love the Chapter-a-Night series:- Short chapters, one a night - each can be finished in a single sitting, perfect for the bedtime routine
- Statutory spelling words woven invisibly into the story - the full Word Spotter's list is at the back, never interrupting the reading
- Written for ages 7- 9 (Years 3 and 4) with easy-to-read sentences that welcome reluctant readers
- From the author Longlisted for the Arnold Bennett Society Book Prize 2024
Part of the Chapter-a-Night series. Ideal for parents, grandparents and carers of children in years 3 and 4, home educators, tutors, and any child who says they don't like reading - yet!
