The Entertainer - Activity Pack

The "Entertainer - Activity Pack" is a delightful educational resource designed to engage children in reading and spelling practice. Illustrated by Annalisa Jones and penned by Sally Anne Jones, this booklet is published by Guinea Pig Education and aims to make learning an interactive and enjoyable experience for young readers. Parents are encouraged to participate by listening to their child read aloud from the booklet, helping them to sound out words and spell them in a spelling workbook. The activity pack suggests rewarding children for their efforts, perhaps with stickers, reinforcing a positive learning environment. The story itself revolves around an exciting narrative where children at Grace's party eagerly anticipate the arrival of an entertainer named Mr. Funny, only to embark on an unexpected space adventure led by the alien superhero Zoggy.

During the party, when Mr. Funny fails to turn up, Zoggy steps in to save the day, revealing his true alien identity and inviting the children on a thrilling disco journey through space aboard his spacecraft. The adventure is filled with sights of planets and stars, creating an immersive and educational experience that also includes a disco ball and a dance party. The activity pack concludes with the children declaring it the best party ever, much to the delight of their waiting parents. To further enhance their learning, the pack includes a list of new sounds to learn, such as the soft 'c', and a variety of words for the children to practice spelling, ranging from 'birthday' to 'asteroid', and 'jiving' to 'wonderful', all of which are thematically linked to the story and designed to challenge and expand the young readers' vocabulary.
