Reading plays a crucial role in reception by fostering language development, cognitive skills, literacy abilities, social-emotional growth, and preparing children for future academic success. The need to grab children’s attention at this fundamental time in their learning – with reading books, stories and illustrations that will engage and motivate – can not be underestimated.
Our Additional Adventures Books will spark your children’s curiosity and imagination, exposing them to different worlds, cultures, and ideas. This set of 30 books will expand their horizons and foster a love for reading and learning. New characters and delightful illustrations will transport the children to new worlds and engage each and every reader, such an upgrade from your standard readers.
Our books provide children with the all important practice they need at each stage of their reading development, embedding graphemes and high-frequency words. Along with building confidence, fluency, and independence.
As with all our reception books, our Additional Adventures have the unique addition of adult text which is invaluable for developing children’s early reading skills. Our books use a ‘seesaw’ approach where the child reads the larger text, and the adult reads the smaller print. This is not a necessity as all the stories can still be understood, however it helps develop children’s focus and love of reading.
The unique addition of adult text is missing in so many other early decodable reading books. Research shows a direct link between stories, vocabulary development, and future academic success. So, having the adult part of the text allows even the youngest children to explore story structure, gain comprehension skills, alongside enhancing and broadening their vocabulary.
