Grog: Book 1 - weebee Series 1 Ruth Price-Mohr

This is the first book in the first series of the weebee reading scheme for beginner readers. This reading scheme 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 in comprehension. These books have a majority of phonically decodable words, but most importantly the language is predictable and tells a story. 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. Full-page colour illustrations throughout.
