Jolly Phonics Extra (personal edition) 點讀筆家用版套裝

User1 — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 05:31:31 +0000

The Jolly Phonics Extra (Personal Edition) provides an innovative and comprehensive set of materials, designed specifically for children who would benefit from extra help.

An ‘extra’, phonetically regular text has been used throughout the materials in this kit. Placed discreetly underneath the traditional text, it provides additional pronunciation help with detracting from the main text.

The TalkingPEN gives further support in a number of ways: providing an audio guide for each individual sound, modelling word blending and tricky-word reading, and helping the children to hear the sounds in words. The TalkingPEN can also be used by the children to self-check their reading; they simply touch the passage they have just read with the TalkingPEN to hear the text read back to them.

The kit comes with a Jolly Phonics Extra Guide and a Jolly Phonics Extra Getting Started Guide.

The kit contains:

TalkingPEN*
Letter Sounds Book*
Jolly Phonics Extra Flash Cards*
Jolly Phonics Extra Readers, Red Level (18 different titles)*
Jolly Phonics Extra Readers, Yellow Level (18 different titles)*
Jolly Phonics Extra Readers, Green Level (18 different titles)*

*Compatible with the TalkingPEN.

Please note that the TalkingPEN only works with the items in the Jolly Phonics Extra kit and not other standard Jolly Phonics products.

Whatshisface

fun to read — Sun, 18 May 2025 17:47:38 +0000

A fun, funny ghost story about a nobody kid who becomes a somebody while helping a ghost right a wrong from the past.Cooper Vega’s family moves so often that he’s practically invisible at any school he attends. Now they’ve relocated to the town of Stratford — where nobody even makes an effort to learn Cooper’s name. To them, he’s just . . . whatshisface.Cooper’s parents feel bad about moving him around so much, so they get him a fancy new phone. Almost immediately, it starts to malfunction. First there’s a buzzing. Then there’s a weird glare on the screen. Then that glare starts to take on the form of . . . a person? It’s not just any person trapped inside Cooper’s phone. It’s a boy named Roderick, who says he lived in the time of William Shakespeare — and had a very tangled history with the famous playwright. Cooper thinks his phone has gone haywire, but there’s nothing he can do to get rid of Roderick. Then, even stranger, Roderick starts helping him. Even though his 17th-century advice isn’t always the best for a 21st century middle school.

Hot Dog (Winner of the 2023 Caldecott Medal)

Fun To Read — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 07:59:21 +0000

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE 2023 CALDECOTT MEDAL • This glowing and playful picture book features an overheated—and overwhelmed—pup who finds his calm with some sea, sand, and fresh air. Destined to become a classic!

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Publishers Weekly • Kirkus Reviews • New York Public Library

“An utter joy from beginning to end!” —Sophie Blackall, two-time Caldecott Medal winner

This hot dog has had enough of summer in the city! Enough of sizzling sidewalks, enough of wailing sirens, enough of people’s feet right in his face. When he plops down in the middle of a crosswalk, his owner endeavors to get him the breath of fresh air he needs. She hails a taxi, hops a train, and ferries out to the beach.

Here, a pup can run!

With fluid art and lyrical text that have the soothing effect of waves on sand, award-winning author Doug Salati shows us how to find calm and carry it back with us so we can appreciate the small joys in a day.

Be Prepared

fun to read — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 15:41:59 +0000

“Beautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest. Vera is such a good cartoonist I almost can’t stand it.” ―Raina Telgemeier, author of Smile

In Be Prepared, all Vera wants to do is fit in―but that’s not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. Vera’s single mother can’t afford that sort of luxury, but there’s one summer camp in her price range―Russian summer camp.

Vera is sure she’s found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing could prepare her for all the “cool girl” drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!
