More Stage 7 decodable books about the adventures of Pip and Tim. These beautifully illustrated decodable books are written specifically to provide children with enjoyment while practising their phonic knowledge in text. Read below a synopsis of the story and the focus phoneme/grapheme.
The familiar Pip and Tim Zan family continue to feature in all the books.
Each story is carefully crafted by Berys Dixon to engage children with surprises and humour. This is reflected in the colourful and quirky illustrations by Danielle McDonald.
