Walking Through the Town is an innovative book which is accompanied by a music CD to support multi-sensory learning. The text is set to music that uses rhythm, rhyme and beat to under-pin the spoken and written language. The book supports both dimensions of learning to read (word recognition and language comprehension) but is particularly useful when children first begin to use and apply their emerging phonemic awareness as it provides:

• Opportunities to develop phonological awareness at an increased level of complexity.

• Text that can be used to support phonic work throughout all 6 phases of Communication, Language and Literacy Development.

• Helpful repetition that can provide children with confidence as they begin to read more widely.

• Teacher’s notes that provide a wealth of ideas for developing all aspects of literacy.


Walking Through the Town takes the children on an unbelievable journey full of surprises and colourful characters. The detailed illustrations provide a host of talking points.
