Will it sink?

Can you guess which everyday objects will float and which will sink? This photographic non-fiction reader invites young children to make their own predictions as they explore the question. The text is written for emergent readers, using simple, repetitive sentences built around familiar objects and actions, with a light storyline that develops across the pages.

The book is part of the Collins Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds range, which is designed to match Letters and Sounds Phases 1 to 6. This title focuses on the sounds /w/, /y/, /z/, /x/, /v/, /nk/ and /th/. Pages 14 and 15 include an "I Spy" activity that uses pictures to help children practise their phonic knowledge. Notes at the back offer guidance for adults reading with a child, including a list of the sounds and words covered.
