Bridging Book 4 - Introduces Long Vowel Sounds and Magic e - Activity Pack

Bridging Book Four is a vibrant educational resource aimed at helping children grasp the concept of long vowel sounds, the magic of the silent 'e', and vowel digraphs. Sally Anne Jones is the author behind this engaging book, and Annalisa Jones brings the content to life with her delightful illustrations. This activity pack serves as a bridge for young learners to transition from simple phonetic sounds to more complex reading patterns, focusing on the transformation that occurs when a silent 'e' is added to words—turning 'kit' into 'kite', for example. The book is published by Guinea Pig Education and is a valuable tool for parents and educators seeking to enhance the reading skills of children.

The character Zoggy, a cute alien, guides children through the learning process by introducing them to words that contain the targeted sounds. Through various scenarios, Zoggy encounters words with long vowel sounds like 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', and 'u', all influenced by the addition of a magic 'e'. Additionally, Zoggy explores words with vowel digraphs such as 'oo' and 'ee', as well as words with double consonants ending in 'ing'. The book also navigates through words with middle sounds like 'ar', 'or', 'ir', 'ur', and 'er', enhancing the reader's phonetic awareness. With its structured approach, Bridging Book Four is designed to make learning to read an enjoyable and successful experience for children as they embark on their literacy journey.
