A wipe-clean book about letter sounds for children who are learning to read and write. Match words to the right picture, find words starting with 'p' or draw insects to practise the letter 'i' then wipe and repeat. This first book in the series covers 's', 'a', 't', 'p', 'i', 'n', 'm' and 'd', and supports phonics teaching in schools.
