A classic tale from Read It Yourself - a structured programme to support children from first phonics to fluent reading

Based on the popular classic tale. When a cheeky, freshly baked gingerbread man leaps out of the oven and runs away, he's chased by a motley crew of characters who want to eat him for their tea! Can anyone catch him?

The Gingerbread Man is from Developing Reader Level 2. It is ideal for children aged 6+ who are confidently using their phonics knowledge and can read short, simple sentences with only a little help. Frequently repeated words help improve fluency and confidence.
