Tess and Bess in the Park

Tess and Bess in the Park: Join Tess and Bess as they scoot, swing, slide, spin, spring and scramble. They spy a spotty ladybird, a slimy slug and something black and scary…

Written by a speech and language therapist each story is packed with multiple repetitions of selected sounds and rhymes. Tess and Bess is full of sound play with a special focus on ‘s’ and ‘s’ blends.

The stories are expertly crafted to support children’s developing speech sound awareness and vocabulary knowledge. These are key foundation skills for success with phonics, early reading and spelling.

The simple, interactive storylines make it easy for children to anticipate what happens next and to join in when they hear the stories again. This provides lots of opportunities for them to both hear and practise saying words.

Children love repetition! It helps them build their knowledge and understanding of word meanings and story structure. We hope that you will enjoy each story again, again and again!
