Gus: (Red Squirrel Phonics Level 2)

Gus: (Red Squirrel Phonics Level 2)

Description

Gus is a brave little red squirrel who embarks on an adventurous journey through the forest to find a new home. Along the way, he encounters various challenges and makes new friends who help him overcome obstacles. Red Squirrel Phonics is a new series of decodable readers from Raintree, packed with real stories using words that children can read. The program teaches children phonics skills in a sequential and systematic way so that they can learn the sounds (phonemes) and the letters that represent them (graphemes) and then practise and apply this knowledge through reading appealing, decodable texts that make sense. This ensures that every beginner reader will experience success in their reading from their very first book! In this Level 2 book, we meet Gus the goat who likes to stand on a log to reach the washing on the line, much to Mum's dismay.
