The Picnic is part of a brand new set of phonically decodable reading books perfect for very early readers. These expertly levelled stories are engaging and are exactly matched to Little Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised used in schools across the UK.

The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive stories, accompanied by bright, contemporary and humorous illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers with a ‘find the character’ feature on each spread.

The artwork is detailed so as not to provide picture cues and prompting. Each book also contains parent’s notes and a ‘retell the story’ task to support children’s oracy, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Four sets of books covering groups of sounds to allow for progression.
