The bell rings and I get up. 2Pop! It is my toast. I like it with lots of jam.Out and about, cars zoom. Trucks clank and trains chug. 4Bash, toot, boom! It is a band! Mum sings, and Dad and I clap.In the park, a flag flaps. I step on sticks that snap. 6A man and his dog jog. He huffs and puffs. The dog pants.Fizz, gulp! I swig my drink. 8At the bin, bees buzz and flies hum. Crash! I drop in the rubbish.Pit-pat! It is the rain. Squelch! I stomp in mud. 10Croak! It is a toad at the pond. Plop! He hops in for a swim.Hiss! Mum grills fish. Bash! Mum cooks mash. Glug! Dad puts pans in the sink to soak. 12Hush! I need to sleep.Ideas for reading Written by Clare Dowdall, PhD Lecturer and Primary Literacy Consultant Learning objectives: read simple words by Curriculum links: Creative Development: sounding out and blending the phonemes Creating music and dance; Knowledge and all through the word from left to right; Understanding of the World: Exploration and read a range of familiar and common words __ investigation and simple sentences independently; show an understanding of how information can bbe found in non-fiction texts to answer Fast words: |, my, the, like, he, we questions; extend their vocabulary, exploring Word count: 148 the meanings and sounds of new words; use talk to organise, sequence and clarify thinking, ideas, feelings and events, exploring the meanings and sounds of new words Focus phonemes: ou, 08, 00, ai, ch, ee, 22 Getting started « Read the title on the front cover.
