Rip It! Tip It!

This photographic nonfiction reader from the Collins Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds range follows road workers as they go about their jobs on different road construction sites. Written for early readers at the Pink B (Band 1B) level, its simple, predictable sentences describe familiar objects and actions. The book concentrates on the sounds /g/, /o/, /c/, /k/, /e/, /u/, /r/, /h/ and the letter pattern ck. A playful I Spy activity on pages 14 and 15 uses pictures to help children practise their phonic knowledge. Reading notes inside the book offer guidance on sharing it with children and list every sound and word it covers. The wider series is matched to Letters and Sounds Phases 1 to 6, and the Handbooks that accompany it support modelling, comprehension and vocabulary.
