Rad needs a pan. Cam has a pan. But the pan is not for a ram.
In this playful early reader story, Rad and Cam learn to work together to solve a simple problem as young readers learn how words work along the way.
Rad and Cam is part of the Reading Trails series, a carefully designed set of emergent readers rooted in the Science of Reading. This book focuses on short A words and introduces early readers to simple, decodable patterns alongside high-frequency sight words.
With clear phonics support, relatable characters, and a manageable progression of skills, children build confidence as they read real words and meaningful stories.
At the back of the book, grown-ups will find simple tips to support decoding and help practice the new skills alongside their reader.
Perfect for parents, teachers, and tutors looking for engaging, research-based early readers that grow with the child - one trail at a time.
Skills in this book include:
- Short A CVC words (fan, man, pan, ram, ham, yam)
- High-frequency words: am, can, said
