Zoggy Is A School Teacher - Activity Pack
English Resource Description
"Zoggy Is A School Teacher" is an engaging children's activity pack, with illustrations by Annalisa Jones and written by Sally Anne Jones, published by Guinea Pig Education. This educational resource is designed to encourage young readers to practice their phonetic skills and spelling through interactive reading. Adults are invited to participate by letting the child read aloud, sound out words phonetically, and spell them out in a workbook. The pack includes a variety of words to spell, ranging from simple to more challenging ones, and suggests rewarding the child's efforts with stickers or other incentives. The story follows the adventures of Zoggy, an alien who finds himself in a school setting, assisting a young boy named Dan with his spelling and maths, providing a fun and imaginative backdrop for learning.
Throughout the story, Zoggy, the alien, helps Dan navigate his school day, from spelling tests to maths problems. Zoggy's ability to shrink and enlarge himself using a tablet adds a magical element to the tale. The narrative includes moments of excitement, such as Zoggy transforming into a bear to scare off a bully, and educational segments where Zoggy takes on the role of a teacher, introducing the children to the solar system with his extraterrestrial knowledge. The activity pack not only aids in spelling and phonics but also introduces children to concepts of science and space. It presents a list of words related to various subjects, including space, science, and school life, encouraging children to practice their spelling in a context-rich environment.
