What the testers said: “A perfect way to reinforce the phonics children had been working on in class! The children loved the characters in Letterland - a very effective way of keeping the children’s attention and stimulating visual learners. The CD was a useful resource, which the children could enjoy listening to independently. A great product and reasonably priced.”

Description: This book includes 12 catchy songs to help develop knowledge about numbers and shapes, as well as a music score and lyric sheets with helpful teacher’s notes to expand and develop subject content of the songs. The audio CD provides songs sung by children and backing tracks.
Score: 87.5% ISBN: 979-1-906988-26-5
What the testers said: “This is quite a unique product. The songs are catchy and the lyrics are easy to follow and learn. The children enjoyed learning the songs – particularly counting forwards and backwards to 10 and getting faster each time. All the children understood the mathematical concepts this
covered and coped with the vocabulary, though at times the backing track was a little fast. A really nice way to start a lesson and a good range is covered.”

Score: 86.6%
What the testers said: “We love these books! The teaching guides are very well set out, clear to understand and offer a wide range of ideas for teaching maths. The idea of a ‘picture book’ for discussion is excellent, and the detailed teacher’s notes are extremely helpful and supportive. It references APP, the EYFS and NC so that you can see how they all inter- relate. As an EYFS practitioner it is good to see the next targets to stretch the more able pupils. The CD is also very handy. The discussion book is colourful and groups enjoyed the activities. A fabulous product!”
