All the tricky words and letter sounds used in this book are shown on the front inside cover; these can be used as a quick practice activity before starting the book.

Faint type is used for any silent letters, like the ‹b› in ‘lamb’.

Comprehension questions and discussion topics are included at the end of each story. These ensure that children are not only able to read the text, but also find meaning in the stories.
