Read The Story Bad Cat. Revise ‘ea’ - Activity Pack

The "Bad Cat" story is a delightful and educational tale from the "Read The Story" series, which focuses on revising the 'ea' sound, as found in words like 'teacher' or 'heavy'. This particular story is about Sam and Kim's mischievous cat, who sneakily indulges in a feast in the kitchen. The cat creeps in unnoticed and leaps onto the table, spotting some meat. With gleaming eyes and a lick of her lips, she begins to pilfer pieces of meat and buttery bread. Sam, witnessing the cat's antics from the window, quickly alerts his mum, anticipating her anger at the cat's behaviour. When Mum sees the feline culprit on the table, she reacts with a scream and promptly banishes the cat to the garden, where the cat sits smugly under a bush, seemingly pleased with her indulgence.
