Zoggy At The Hospital - Activity Pack

Zoggy At The Hospital is a delightful and educational storybook written by Sally Anne Jones and brought to life with illustrations by Annalisa Jones. Published by Guinea Pig Education, this activity pack is designed to engage children in phonetic reading and spelling exercises. The narrative follows Zoggy, an alien from Zen, who experiences a computer crash that leaves him powerless and resting on the ground. Mistaken for being unwell by the humans, Zoggy is whisked away to the hospital in an ambulance, where doctors are puzzled by his unusual vital signs. The book cleverly incorporates phonics learning, as it encourages grown-ups to let their children read aloud, spell out words, and potentially earn rewards for their efforts, such as stickers for correct spelling.

As the story unfolds, Zoggy finds himself in the midst of a misunderstanding with the medical staff who suspect an alien invasion due to his extraterrestrial characteristics. The narrative takes a turn when Zoggy, realizing his predicament, uses his technology to escape, leaving the authorities baffled. The activity pack includes exercises that focus on specific phonetic sounds and spellings, such as 'cc' in 'accident', 'sion' in 'invasion', and 'tion' in 'information', helping children to reinforce their understanding of English phonics. It's an imaginative way to combine storytelling with educational content, ensuring that young readers not only enjoy the tale but also practice important literacy skills.
