The Magical Adventure of Luna the Cat

Image
  Once upon a time in a quiet little village, there lived a curious cat named Luna. Luna wasn't an ordinary cat; she had a special power. When the moon was full and bright, Luna could talk to the animals in the forest. One evening, as Luna gazed out of the window, she noticed the moon glowing like a giant lantern in the night sky. She knew it was time for her magical adventure. Luna slipped out of the house and ventured into the deep, mysterious forest. As Luna walked deeper into the woods, she heard the soft rustling of leaves and the gentle hooting of an owl. It was Owly, the wise old owl. Luna greeted Owly and told him about her adventure. Owly said, "Tonight, Luna, the forest animals have a problem. The river has dried up, and we're all thirsty. Can you help us find water?" Luna nodded and said, "I'll do my best, Owly." With Owly perched on her back, Luna started her journey through the forest. Along the way, they met a squirrel named Sammy, a rabbit

Folk and Fairytale

  The Ugly Duckling


Once upon a time, five eggs began to hatch. Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!


Out popped five little ducklings. Four were fluffy and cute. One was gray and ugly.


The cute ducks were mean to their ugly

brother. They pecked at him.

They said, “You are ugly. Go away!”


One day, the ugly duckling did go away. He swam and swam. After a while, he met some geese.


But the geese were just as mean as the

ducks. They pecked at him.

They said, “You are ugly. Go away!”


Once again, the ugly duckling did go away. He swam and swam. After a while, he met some herons.


But the herons were just as mean as the

geese. They pecked at him.

They said, “You are ugly. Go away!”


Once again, the ugly duckling did go away. He swam and swam. After a while, he came upon some swans. They were the most beautiful birds he had ever seen.


When the swans swam near, the ugly

duckling hid his face and cried. He did not

want them to see how ugly he was.


Life went on like this for many months. The ugly duckling stayed by himself. He also grew and grew.


One day, a swan swam over and spoke to him.

“Why are you so shy?” he asked.

“Because I am ugly,” said the ugly duckling.


The swan laughed, “Have you looked in a mirror lately?”


That made the ugly duckling curious. He looked into the shiny water.


Wow! He had grown into a beautiful swan, just like them!


Wow! He had grown into a beautiful swan, just like them!

The Tortoise and the Hare

Image
Once upon a time, there lived a tortoise and a hare. The hare, who was very fast, always teased the slow tortoise. "Ha, ha, ha! Even a snail is faster than you!" he said. The tortoise did not like the teasing one bit. Finally, he decided to do something about it. "Let's have a race, " he said. The hare fell down laughing. "OK, but you know I will win," he said. "We will see," said the tortoise. On the day of the big race, all of the animals came to watch. "On your mark, get set, go!" said the fox. The hare hopped. Fast, fast, fast. The tortoise walked. Slow, slow, slow. The hare hopped. Fast, fast, fast. The tortoise walked. Slow, slow, slow. Soon the hare was way ahead of the tortoise. "Ha, ha, ha! I can take a nap and still wake up in time to beat the tortoise," said the hare. So he did. Snore, snore, snore. But as the hare napped, the tortoise walked Slow, slow, slow. And guess what? By and by, the tortoise passed the h

Phonics Workbook for the phonics screening check

Image
 Phonics in the Foundation Stage (Ages 3 to 5) Phonics is the relationship between sounds (phonemes) and letters or groups of letters (graphemes). Learning phonics involves listening to sounds, recognising sounds and discriminating between sounds as well as learning how sounds are represented by letters. When first learning phonics, children should have many opportunities to enjoy listening to and reading stories, poems, songs and rhymes, as well as information books about topics that interest them. How this book is organised Letters of the alphabet (p. 6-13) introduces upper- and lower-case letters, in order, by name. You could use these terms with your child or capital letters' and "lower-case letters' (as there is no other simple term for "lower-case'*). The letters are introduced in a way that helps children learn letter formation as well as position in the alphabet. There are further activities on the letters of the alphabet at later stages of the book (p. 28
