Katherine Dyson's Reviews > Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook

This book certainly kept me entertained while I tried to read the jumbled up words and try and make sense of the sentences I was reading.
This story is about a rabbit on a simple adventure, however the clever quirk that the author inhibits within the story is to change the first letter of certain words with another letter of a word e.g runny Babbit.
This book would be great to use as a game during a phonics lesson or just at the end of the day before the children go home. They could challenge themselves to who can read a whole page correctly in the shortest time. Although all the words are not correct, due to the authors quirkiness, it still promotes the learning of phonics as the children would need to use their knowledge to read the new words created.
A visualiser could be used or the page could be written up on an IWB for all the class to check the child's articulation.
I would recommend this book for teaching year one upwards, older pupils could even create their own runny Babbit style book.
