Cowboy Hats

This is a lovely story about Troy the cowboy. One day, while he is playing with Pat the cat, a strong gust of wind blows his hat right off his head and it is nowhere to be found. So Troy and Pat set off to Shirley's house to see if she can help to find his hat. But along the way, they meet a number of characters who have lost their hats too! They all search together to find their hats. Join Troy and his friends on their search and see what they find at Shirley's house. This is a story about friendship and inclusion, supporting each other, not giving up and working together as a team. There are also five fun and engaging activities for your reader to complete in order to check and reinforce comprehension and learning. This is the first read-aloud book in 'Sounds make Words make Stories' Series 3. This is a structured reading program that introduces sound groups in a systematic and uncluttered way. It builds confidence and capability in your new reader by only focusing on new sounds together with those already learned. The program contains self-reader books as well as read-aloud story books. 'Cowboy Hats' acts as a back drop to introduce the characters from the self-reader books in series 3 and series 3+, books 1 and 2. This program has had success with young readers, stubborn readers, readers with learning difficulties and readers with English as a second language. It has been proven to be an excellent educational tool within schools as well as for home learning.
