Taro and the Stag Beetle

Big Cat Phonics for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been developed in collaboration with Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary School. It comprises classroom resources to support the SSP programme and a range of phonic readers that together provide a consistent and highly effective approach to teaching phonics.

When Taro's grandfather moves into their family home, Taro couldn't be more excited, they're going to have so much fun! But his grandfather is grieving and never wants to play. Then something wonderful happens one day when they all go for a family walk. They come across a stag beetle and something changes, allowing Taro to realise the importance of kindness and understanding and allowing his grandfather to experience fond memories and find joy again.
