A Collection of Children’S Stories: With a Focus on Phonics Iii

By M. W. Lashgari

Six entertaining, engaging, and educational stories Green-Fingers Granny; Am I an Octopus or an Ostrich?; Ultimo and His Unusual Umbrella; Lumba, the Lying Giant; Freddy and His Flip-flops; and Mr and Mrs Bubblepop aim to help children learn the third group of phonics: g, O/O, U, l, f, and b. Each story focuses on one sound and provides many words as examples for it to increase the childs vocabulary capacity for that targeted sound.

The targeted sounds have been clearly highlighted using different colours to attract the childs attention. This could increase the childs later recall of that sound as well as developing the childs understanding that one letter may sound different in different words. An example for this is how the letter u in the word Umbrella sounds different from u in the word usual.

Green-Fingers Granny

Compared to other grannies, Gloria’s granny was weird, somehow. She wasn’t weird because she had green fingers; she was weird because she could do very weird things with them. Her green fingers could do magic with flowers. As soon as she planted a flower seed and watered it, the flower
