Chant and Chatter books are written especially for the Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds series at Book Band Pink. The narratives and non-fiction texts are formed through three short, rhythmic chants, allowing the demonstration and modelling of fluent reading and supporting children in learning Phase 1 of Letters and Sounds.

The sounds in this book are: /b/ /h/ /g/ /o/ /e/ /u/ /r/ /f/ ff

Pages 14 and 15 contain an “I Spy” feature with a specific phoneme focus, which uses visual support to help children embed phonic knowledge.

Reading notes within the book provide practical support for reading Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds with children, including a list of all the sounds and words that the book will cover.
