Ash and the Big Bad Fox — Sue Graves

In this story, the children are playing in the woods. But there's a big bad fox out there waiting to get them. . . or is there? Controlled vocabulary is expanded through four levels, following the popular "Letters and Sounds" phonics scheme from Phase 2 to Phase 4, building up from simple CVC words (level 1) to double letter sounds (level 2), two letter graphemes (level 3), and adjacent consonants (level 4). A simple puzzle encourages children to spot the rhyming words, and an Espresso Connections section suggests further activities on Espresso Education. Produced in association with Espresso Education, the leading digital curriculum service in the UK -- used in over 10,000 schools.
