Read, Write and Play - The Clever Cat (3-7 years)

Read the charming story, set in days gone by, about the Clever Cat; colour the pictures; answer the questions to see how much you can remember; and make a puppet.

For young children of 3-5 years, read the story aloud and discuss the content of the story with the child, answering the questions. Get the child to draw a picture from the story. Help him or her write a sentence about it, so they can trace or copy over the letters. Make the puppet and act out the story.

For older children, aged 5-7 (who have some reading skills), get the child to read the story and answer the questions in sentences. The questions cover comprehension skills, retrieving information, using language and inference. Colour the pictures and then draw your own picture and write your own version of the story. Make the puppet and then act out the story with your child.
