The Queen Makes a Scene: Mairi Mackinnon

A hilarious story to inspire very beginner readers. Based on the principles of synthetic phonics, supports the "Letters and Sounds" programme used in thousands of UK primary schools. Adult and child take turns to read, and the child’s text introduces the important letter-combinations of the vowel sounds ai ee igh oa oo (as in "book" and also in "moon"). Fun puzzles test understanding, and provide opportunities for discussion and further reading practice.
