The program teaches children phonics skills in a sequential and systematic manner, enabling them to learn the sounds (phonemes) and the letters that represent them (graphemes) and then practice and apply this knowledge through reading appealing, decodable texts that make sense. This ensures that every beginner reader will experience success from their very first book!

This Level 7 Set 2b book, focusing on the le and al graphemes, is all about turtles. Turtles return to the exact location where they were born to lay their own eggs. We follow a mother and baby turtle through their entire life.

The book begins with a baby turtle hatching from its egg and emerging from the sand. It then goes on to describe the different stages of a turtle's life, such as its growth, feeding, and mating habits. We learn about the different types of turtles, such as sea turtles, land turtles, and tortoises, and how they differ from each other.

Throughout the book, there are plenty of colorful illustrations that help to bring the story to life. The text is also written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, making it perfect for children who are just starting to learn to read.

One of the most interesting aspects of the book is the way that it teaches children about the importance of conserving turtles and their habitats. It highlights the threats that turtles face, such as pollution, habitat destruction, and overfishing, and encourages children to take action to protect these creatures.

Overall, this is a fantastic book that will engage and inspire young readers. It is a great addition to the Red Squirrel Phonics series and is sure to help children develop their phonics skills and love of reading. Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to help children learn to read and care for the environment.
