Let’s Go On A Ride - Activity Pack

"Let's Go On A Ride" is an engaging activity pack designed to encourage young readers to practice their reading and spelling skills. Illustrated by Annalisa Jones and authored by Sally Anne Jones, this educational resource is published by Guinea Pig Education. It invites grown-ups to participate in their child's learning journey by listening to them read aloud, helping them sound out words, and encouraging them to spell them in a workbook. The booklet is structured to make learning interactive and fun, with the possibility of rewarding children with stickers for their achievements. The narrative follows Zoggy, an alien, and his friend Dan as they explore a theme park, engaging in various adventures and facing amusing challenges that integrate new vocabulary for spelling practice.

The story takes the readers through a series of exciting theme park attractions, from the hall of mirrors to exhilarating rides like the big dipper. Zoggy's experiences are designed to captivate children's imaginations while subtly introducing them to new words and sounds. The book not only focuses on reading comprehension but also includes spelling exercises with words relevant to the story, such as 'helter-skelter', 'queue', and 'hurtle'. These exercises aim to reinforce the vocabulary presented in the narrative and help children develop their spelling and phonetic skills. The activity pack concludes with a list of extra sounds used in the book, encouraging children to identify and spell words containing those sounds, further enhancing their linguistic abilities.
