A popular traditional tale, The Elves and the Shoemaker Big Book is ideal for shared reading activities with children in the Foundation stage/Primary 1 (ages3–4). The Big Book is designed to be used with the associated children's books (pack of 4): The Shoe; My Clothes, We Tap, Tap, Tap; Shiny Shoes. The Elves and the Shoemaker Big Book spans the Key Skills (High Frequency Words) strand and the Language Patterns (Patterned and Natural Language) strand of Cambridge Reading. The Big Book can be used to develop children's Text and Sentence level skills through systematic coverage and repetition of four key, high frequency words a, and, my and the, and through the use of patterned and natural language of the speech refrains. The other two traditional tales (also comprising a Big Book and 4 associated children's books) are Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Runaway Chapati.
