Usborne Very First Reading: Pirate Pat (Stage 1) by Mairi MacKinnon (author)

An exciting story to inspire very beginner readers. Based on the principles of synthetic phonics, supports the “Letters and Sounds” programme used in thousands of UK primary schools. Adult and child take turns to read, and the child’s text uses only the letters s a t p i n m d. Fun puzzles test understanding, and provide opportunities for discussion and further reading practice.
