The Big Pancake: Read It Yourself - Level 1 Early Reader





A classic tale from Read It Yourself – a structured programme to support children from
first phonics to fluent reading

Based on the classic tale. A busy mother makes a giant pancake to feed her seven hungry children. The pancake is so marvellous that a man, a cat, a dog and a hen want to eat it too! Will a pig help the big pancake escape?

The Big Pancake is from Early Reader Level 1. It is perfect for children aged + who can use their existing phonics knowledge to practise reading simple words and short sentences with help. Each book uses a small number of frequently repeated words to steadily build reading confidence.

Beginner Reader Level 0 is a twelve-step programme to support children who are developing their phonics reading skills. It introduces new letters and sounds in a systematic order.

Levels 1 to 4 are written for children who are moving beyond phonics and gaining reading confidence and fluency. Each book includes simple sentences and high-frequency words, as well as a limited number of new words for essential reading practice.

Each book has been thoroughly checked by educational consultants and includes tips for helping children with their reading, as well as comprehension puzzles and book band information.

With five levels to take children from first phonics to fluent reading, Read It Yourself helps every child on their journey to becoming a confident reader.
