This is the fourth book of the parallel set of books in Series 1 of the weebee reading scheme for beginner readers (Books 1a - 8a). These books are written as an alternative to the mainly phonically-decodable books (Books 1-8). They are intended for children who are more holistic learners, often boys, who either cannot access the blending and segmenting approach or prefer not to. They are also written for children who have ‘cracked the code’ and can already read when they come to school. This reading scheme, that has been six years in development, is the result of a one-year study across sixteen schools in the UK with children in Reception and into Year 1. The research demonstrated statistically significant improvements for children using these books and the associated teaching resources for comprehension and word recognition. Each of the first eight books introduces a new character known as a weebee. The original concept art for the weebees was done by Rolf Mohr an internationally recognised artist in the world of computer games. These original creatures are designed to appeal to boys and girls and are set in an imaginary valley where there are no cultural or gender constraints. There are full-page colour illustrations throughout.
