Learning to see with a 'p' and a 'g'

Children often mix up the letters p, q and g when learning to read and write. This is common up to the age of 7 or 8 and also with children who have dyslexia. This is the story of a 'piggy' who wrote his name as 'qiggy' and the other animals laughed at him so he hides away in the forest and disguises himself. Then he makes a special friend, Chris the dinosaur. Chris has his own problems, and together they help each other to overcome their difficulties. The qiggy learns how to use the letters 'p' and 'g' correctly, and this is the beginning of his journey of self-discovery. This story will help children to recognise the letters p and g when reading, and to produce them correctly when writing, through repeated exposure to the shape and structure of the letters. The broader message of the story is that we can overcome frustrations and barriers through helping and supporting each other in life.
