Pat the Cat

Pat the Cat and Friends Big Books are ideal for whole class shared reading with beginners. Humorous rhyming stories supported by bold and appealing illustrations provide a range of opportunities to cover aspects of text level, word level and sentence level work. The flip-the-page format of the original small books has been retained, allowing the whole class to understand that if they can read PAT they can read CAT, RAT and lots of other simple words that follow the same CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) pattern. Children will quickly get the idea that they can create and recognize strings of rhyming CVC words simply by changing the initial consonant.
