Help children learn key first writing skills with the friendly students of Ladybird Class! Join Zara Penguin, Tao Meerkat, Ali Lion, Olivia Crocodile, Noah Panda and Nia Hedgehog as they have fun practising letter shapes, writing words and making up their first sentence.

Encourage children to sound out the letters and trace over the words on every page with the special pen. Each time, it is easy to wipe the pages clean with the included eraser and start again!

The book covers all the necessary skills needed for learning to write from writing all the letters in alphabetical order, to writing groups of letters that require the same hand movements (for example, curly, round letters a , c and o ) - all the way through to using capital letters to write names and first sentences.

On every page, children can develop their phonics skills by sounding out letters to work out which ones they need to complete the words, and practising writing common tricky words that must be learnt by heart, such as 'the', 'and', 'to', 'said' and 'some'.

The students of Ladybird Class also have lots of fun ideas for practising early writing skills in everyday life. Can children make their own treasure map, address their own envelopes or write about their very favourite things?

A perfect follow-on title to the first letter-forming skills introduced in Learn with Wipe-Clean Letters.
