Fat Cat

Meet Fat Cat. He’s a cat. He’s fat! It’s fun to watch Fat Cat learn new things. Phonics and early word recognition skills.Fat Cat is a friendly and curious pet who explores the surrounding world, which is filled with creatures and objects that all have one thing in common: a short 'a' sounding vowel. Readers follow along through each encounter, and observe a wide variety of words that belong to this family. Memorable interactions help early readers internalize the linguistic aspects subconsciously. Once introduced to the story through read-along, early readers will rapidly take to self-exploration and learning through enjoyment. This provides an opportunity for parents and teachers to come alongside and encourage early reading curiosity.This early learning read-along book is part of a series of books by the multi-talented author and illustrator, Kathryn Peters. The series is designed to focus on specific aspects of learning English. In 'Fat Cat', the focus is on the sound of short 'a'. A series of examples of various words is used to reinforce the use of that construct. Then some examples of words that have the same letter but produce different sounds are introduced. The Study Notes at the end provide parents and teachers with some questions about the words found in the book, designed to be shared with children for further exploration.Coming Soon in the Early Learning Series by Kathryn Peters:Sid the Silent GhostBig Pig
