1. Foster a love of reading

The programme sets out to capture the interest of your child and provide entertainment. By making the reading experience enjoyable and successful, your child will want to read on and cooperate with you in the supported activities. The variety of activities on each page, mean that your child will enjoy reading the book again and again.

Each text page is accompanied by a brightly coloured illustration which closely corresponds to the accompanying text, giving lots of visual clues to decipher the text. Each story endeavours to provide a humorous ending. After reading the story, talk about what you found funny. Ask your child to point to anything in the illustration they think is funny, discuss it and laugh about it together.
