These interactive books can act as a vital bridge between listening and reading. The animations provide visual entertainment and motivation.
Who are the books suitable for?
Reading ability 5-7 years (key stage 1), age appropriate content up to 12 years (key stage 2). Nessy Tales are particularly suitable for reluctant readers or those with special educational needs (e.g. dyslexia).
What the books do?
Nessy Tales give children the motivation to read and act as a vital link between listening and reading. Older children who may be feeling self-conscious about their reading ability can follow the story content independently. The books can also be used for paired reading. Words are read by the student on-screen and then they can rest while they listen.

Curriculum coverage
Nessy Tales books 1 - 5 provide confidence and support by using a small vocabulary of carefully selected words. The introduction of additional words is a gradual progression, building knowledge in small steps. The learning structure follows the UK National Curriculum, advancing from Consonant-Vowel-Consonant or C-V-C words (e.g. ‘t-a-p’), to C-C-V-C (e.g. t-r-a-p), and building to C-C-V-C-C (e.g. t-r-a-m-p) in book 5.
