Nessy Tales

The 5 animated stories have also
been developed as a series of printed books.

The printed books are an ideal companion to the animated Tales. Once familiar with the animated story this gives the confidence and motivation to read the paper versions.

In this free story book meet Muggins the dog in a Nessy Tale called 'Muggins'.

Book 1 provides vital contextual reading practise with CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant) e.g. ‘cat’ and early stage high frequency ‘sight’ words.

50 words are used in the story but 43 words can be read by sounding the individual letters and blending them together.

You can read books 1-5 by knowing less than 100 words.

Reading should be enjoyable. Encourage reading by using the animations as a reward. Try listening to the story and then reading some of the words. When the reader becomes tired, rest by listening or save the remainder of the story for another time. Once familiar with the animated tales try saving the end of the story to read in book form.
