Zoggy Goes Shopping - Activity Pack

"Zoggy Goes Shopping" is an engaging activity pack created to encourage children to practice their reading and spelling skills. The story, penned by Sally Anne Jones and brought to life with illustrations by Annalisa Jones, is published by Guinea Pig Education. It is an adventure that involves Zoggy, an alien, who experiences the thrills of shopping on Earth. Parents are invited to participate in the learning process by having their child read the booklet aloud and spell out words in a spelling workbook. The activity pack is designed to be interactive and rewarding, with suggestions of providing stickers as incentives for correct spelling. Key vocabulary words such as 'believe', 'wrong', and 'silent' are highlighted for spelling practice, contributing to the child's language development.

The narrative follows Zoggy as he navigates a shopping centre with his friend Dan, encountering various Earth customs and rules. Zoggy's adventure includes dealing with a security guard while trying to use an escalator, marveling at the array of goods for sale, and the challenges of fitting into Earth clothes in a changing room. The story presents a humorous and thoughtful look at consumer culture through the eyes of an outsider. It also touches on themes of generosity, as Zoggy decides to buy gifts for his fellow aliens back on Planet Zen. The activity pack wraps up with spelling exercises that include words from the story, encouraging children to consolidate their learning and improve their spelling skills.
