Zoggy At The Soft Play - Activity Pack

"Zoggy At The Soft Play" is a charming and educational activity pack designed for young readers, brought to life by the illustrations of Annalisa Jones and the engaging narrative crafted by Sally Anne Jones. The book, published by Guinea Pig Education, is specifically tailored to help children practise their phonetic reading skills. Parents and guardians are encouraged to let their children read the booklet aloud, sounding out each word as they go. The interactive experience is further enhanced by inviting children to spell out the words in a spelling workbook, with the possibility of earning rewards such as stickers for their achievements. The story follows the adventures of Zoggy and his friend Dan, as they explore a garden shop and a café before heading to the excitement of the soft play area.

The narrative takes a turn when Zoggy accidentally bumps into another child, Jasper, at the soft play, leading to an important lesson in apologies and friendship. The book also includes a section dedicated to phonics, teaching children about the soft sound of the letter 'c' when paired with 'e', 'i', or 'y'. This educational aspect is reinforced with a list of words for children to practise spelling, ranging from simple words like 'rain' and 'boy' to more complex ones such as 'affray' and 'tearful'. The combination of story and spelling exercises makes "Zoggy At The Soft Play" a valuable resource for developing literacy skills in a fun and engaging way.
