National Year of Reading
2008 is the National Year of Reading and to celebrate this, we have, in stock, some individual finger puppets for popular traditional stories such as ‘the Gingerbread Man’ and ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. In our traditional story sets range, you can also find full story sack contents for these two books, plus ‘3 Little Pigs’ and many more. There is also a page of information about story sacks which I hope will inspire you to make these with the children and their families.
Sarah Neville, a Registered Childminder, has also been working on ideas for the National Year of Reading and has produced an e-book which offers 12 popular children’s stories, fully planned for the Early Years Foundation Stages... one story for each calendar month of the National Year of Reading. The stories tie in with the puppets on my site, which would make a lovely addition to any reading corner. ‘Children’s Favourite Books 1’ is available from Sarah’s website - www.knutsfordchildminding.co.uk
