Game changer

What a game changer! This is such a fun and engaging way to build the foundations for reading. We love how the themes are child interest, which means longer engagement. Every time we explore, we are always finding new things to play and learn

The Now weā€™re Reading Busy Book has 20 educational activities written by certified, practisingĀ  speech pathologist, Mariah Apostolopoulos.Ā Ā  The Now weā€™re Reading Busy Book applies a systematic, synthetic phonics and science ofĀ  reading approach to early literacy required to support reading and spelling skills.Ā Ā  The activity goals and learning objectives of this book align with the school curriculum and areĀ  appropriate to supplement learning for all students starting their literacy journey, typically withinĀ  the first year of formal schooling. Preschoolers who have started to show an interest in writtenĀ  text and early literacy skills will also benefit from this book.Ā Ā  The Now weā€™re Reading Busy Book introduces SATPIN sounds explicitly – it starts with identifyingĀ  initial sounds in isolation, identifying and manipulating sounds at the start, end and middle ofĀ  words and works towards decoding CVC and CCVC words at sentence level, while harnessingĀ  phoneme blending and segmenting skills together with strengthening letter-sound relationships.Ā Ā  There are clear activity goals within the book which are addressed in a fun, play-based way toĀ  engage little learners while also utilising the most evidenced-based approach to literacyĀ  acquisition. Fantastic for working on early literacy at home, in school or therapy clinic.Ā Ā  The Now weā€™re Reading Busy Book is suitable for children aged 4 – 8 years of age depending onĀ  abilities.Ā Ā  For the speechie or learning support teacher on the go, the Now weā€™re Reading Busy Book canĀ  become your ā€˜go toā€™ with lots of literacy activities consolidated in one place. You can easily refer toĀ  the table of contents to select activities that align with your learning goals quickly. It is also a greatĀ  resource for home practice to support the learning from your session or classroom.Ā  This Busy Book was written by certified practicing speech pathologist, Mariah Apostolopoulas.Ā  For more information on Mariah click hereĀ Ā

    This was the first book of the new bundle for Lola to want to get into. Although it is a little beyond her developmental level she had a good go and loved my support and guidance throughout the book. Lola loves being read to so this helped her be involved in that process.

    This Busy Book is a bit advanced for my 3 year old, but he is starting with letter recognition, particular the first letter of his name and his sisters name. I love how the Busy Book can be adapted to different ages. We are using this Busy Book to focus on the alphabet and sounds, but will definitely get more use of the book as he gets older.
