Book details
Mr. Mystery (1.0 Very First Reading)
Description
A magical story that serves as an inspiration for beginner readers and is based on the principles of synthetic phonics. It supports the 'Letters and Sounds' program used in many UK primary schools. The child reads with adult support, gaining practice with longer words and more complicated spelling patterns. The book includes fun puzzles to test understanding and encourage further reading practice. It is the fifteenth title in the 'Usborne Very First Reading' series, designed to introduce young children to reading together with their parents. The series encourages shared reading, where parents and children take turns reading from the page, with text clearly marked for each reader. As the series progresses, the child gradually reads more and the adult less. The book also contains puzzles to assess comprehension and guidance notes for parents, all accompanied by beautiful illustrations to motivate beginner readers.
