About This Product

About This Product

This Butterflies easy reader is great for children who are just learning to read longer books using their knowledge of phonics.

Children can learn about the lifecycle of a butterfly while they develop their reading skills. This is important for children who need to learn to integrate their new skills into their reading.

The child is supported to read fluently as the book only uses commonly taught sight words and all other words are decodable. This gives the child much-needed confidence to read.

This book provides factual information through fiction - read how Pam finds some butterfly eggs on a leaf in the garden.

It can be used alongside a project on butterflies, spring, or stand-alone.
