In pre-school groups

Spot books are ideal for use in pre-school settings. The wide range of books supports all of the areas of the Foundation Curriculum, and are great for encouraging discussion and language development.

Key Stage 1 classes

Spot books are just right for children in Reception and early Key Stage One classes and can be incorporated into the Literacy Hour and Mathematics Lesson. Giant Spot books are ideal for class and group use.

The lift-the-flap format of many of the Spot books will encourage children's involvement and curiosity and duplicate copies of Spot books can be used during the shared reading stage of the Literacy Hour.

A full bibliography, detailing the range of subjects covered by Spot books accompanies the Learning Fun with Spot Education Pack.

Learning With Spot on DVD

Spot DVDs can also be used as an opportunity for children to learn in a relaxed environment. Teachers can use memory tests to see how much the children have remembered and understood from the story. DVDs and the Fun-to-Learn-with-Spot films provide an entertaining way to work with important early learning concepts.
