The King's New Fort Lisa Maccormac

This is a wonderful story about a group of animals who live and play in the wood. Then one day they find out that the king is intent on destroying the wood so that he can build a new fort. What will the animals do? Will they be able to change the king's mind? How can they help to save the wood? This is a story about caring for the environment, accepting others, helping each other out and problem solving. There are also four fun and engaging activities for your reader to complete in order to check and reinforce comprehension and learning. This is the second read-aloud book in 'Sounds make Words make Stories' Series 1. This is a structured reading program that introduces sound groups in a systematic and uncluttered way. It builds confidence and capability in your new reader by only focusing on new sounds together with those already learned. The program contains self-reader books as well as read-aloud story books. 'The King's New Fort' acts as a back drop to introduce the characters from the self-reader books Series 1 and 1+ books 5 through 9. This program has had success with young readers, stubborn readers, readers with learning difficulties and readers with English as a second language. It has been proven to be an excellent educational tool within schools as well as for home learning.
