Animal homes

A Phase 1/Lilac book for children learning to read. This is a photographic exploration without words of the various kinds of homes that animals live in.

From tortoises and hermit crabs to birds' nests and coral reefs, the book offers great opportunities to develop children's vocabulary and explore how animals live.

The final page includes some creatures that live in our houses (cats, dogs and spiders).

Can the children think of some other creatures that they might find at home?This book is designed for the first stage of teaching children to read, before they begin learning their letters.

It is ideal for use at Phase 1 of a phonics programme.

It is a wordless book that tells a story through pictures alone.

All of Ransom's Phase 1/Lilac Band books are designed to help children develop their speaking and listening skills and improve their vocabulary through creating and telling stories, exploring topics and stimulating discussion.
