ABOUT
Perfect for parents with 1-5 year olds, 'Pat the Cat' is a comical, interactive story book from the best-selling authors Colin & Jacqui Hawkins, that will delight children, making them laugh as they learn the vowel sound '-a' - it's i-phonic fun!
ABOUT THE APP
Set to music and audio, in 'Pat the Cat' children can control the story, jump to pages, replay characters and narration, even alter the settings to encourage vocal repetition.
FEATURES
* Stroke Pat to hear him purr or tap his tail to hear him 'miaow'
* Tap the '-at' words and sentences to hear again
* Animated click-through story
* Original music & character audio
* 'Record Me' function for children to record their own narration
* Customized settings - e.g. turn vowels, music or continuous play on or off
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Flip-the-page format: 'Pat the Cat' is a unique split page book; as each page turns a different consonant (onset) is introduced, creating a new word with the same short vowel sound (rime) - i.e. Pat, Cat, Hat, Mat.
Rhyming Narrative: 'Pat the Cat' is written in rhyming text in order to help children understand the word formation. The large key word with its changing consonants encourages vocal repetition of the short vowel sound 'a'.
Characters & Speech bubbles: In this story, Pat the cat meets Tat the bat and Nat the rat. Word formation is additionally helped by two cheeky bookworms who, with the use of speech bubbles, comment on the characters and story as it progresses. In understanding the structure of language, speech bubbles are recognized as an important learning device for children in the building of narrative skills.
