Well-loved characters and engaging Stories TAG books are created to foster a love of stories and encourage children on their reading journey.
Each TAG book includes an engaging story with loveable characters and features that are designed to support your child’s growing reading skills.
Your child can touch the Read the Story button to hear the entire book read aloud, or touch the Read the Page button to set the pace and read along one page at a time.
If your child is reading independently but still wants a little help, your child can touch individual words to hear them read aloud. Reading comprehension games help engage your child throughout the story, encouraging your child to think about what has just been read.
Fun Learning Games and Activities Each TAG Activity Storybook comes packed with fun games and activities created to help your child build vocabulary, decode words and learn other core reading skills. |

Learning Skills
-
Vocabulary
Infants and toddlers learn vocabulary by memory. Later, children use word structure and context to help understand the meaning of a word. They identify synonyms and antonyms. They use prefixes, suffixes and base words to build their own vocabulary.
-
Book basics
A child's early experiences with books greatly influence his ability to learn to read. Even before he knows his ABCs, you can teach him how to handle a book and spark his interest in stories.
-
Phonics skills
To learn to read, a child must understand the letter-sound relationship and distinguish individual sounds, or phonemes, within words. Crucial to reading, phonics skills help children sound out new words (If I can read "pot," then I can read "hot" and "spot").
-
Rhyming
The act of rhyming directs a child's attention to the similarities in words (hat sounds like cat). Because sensitivity to rhyme comes quite naturally, it is an excellent entry into phonological awareness, or the ability to distinguish individual sounds in words.
-
Letter names
Young children typically recite or sing the alphabet before they recognize individual letters. By preschool they begin to identify letters by name and shape.
-
Spelling
Children first learn to spell by breaking down words into sounds. But many sounds in our language have irregular spellings. Children must learn the fundamental spelling rules and recognize commonly misspelled words.
-
Word recognition
As children learn to read, they must be able to "decode" the words they don't know - to translate strings of letters into words. Eventually they can recognize common words that can't be sounded out (the, said, of).
