It’s a very special day.
It’s a very important date!

Little Miss Elephant has invited all of her friends to join her for a very special party. Some come by sea, some by train, some by goat. Will they make it in time to celebrate with her?

The second book of the Word Menders series, Go by Goat focuses on final sounds in words, helping children learn about phonemic awareness, a core skill for reading, as well as encouraging clear speech. And that’s something to celebrate!

Go by Goat is designed to help children learn to hear and produce sounds and build core vocabulary through the use of carefully crafted word pairs and opportunities for active participation in the reading interactions.

Go by Goat includes flashcards to reinforce learning and extend the story.
