Let's Pick Apples
Shannon Penney
- Reading
- Try reading together, pausing at the featured words and inviting your child to spot them again. Let them use sounding-out or other clues too, if that suits their reading.
- Themes
- Recognising words by sight: The story is presented as practice in recognising a pair of commonly used words without sounding them out. Word recognition is the clear learning focus; the book’s specific teaching choices are not described.
- Worth knowing
- The subject is apple picking, with a familiar autumn-season focus. The book’s treatment of the activity and any other situations are unclear.
