The Frog and the Red Drum – R Blends | Pinkolly Magic Phonics Series – Book 08

The Frog and the Red Drum is a fun, beginner-friendly phonics storybook designed for children who have already learned short vowel sounds, simple CVC words, and earlier blends and are ready to practise R blends.

Through a simple and engaging story, children practise reading R-blend words such as dr, fr, gr, cr, pr, and tr while following Frog and his pals, Crab, Rat, and Pig. Frog loves his red drum and keeps drumming, but his pals need some rest. Through a playful little prank, Frog learns an important lesson about thinking of others—and discovers how much more fun drumming can be when everyone enjoys it together.

The book includes:

• Simple, repetitive sentences for early readers
• R-blend words used naturally within the story
• Colourful illustrations to support understanding
• Sight words used in the story
• A simple comprehension activity at the end
• Present-tense, child-friendly language

A great choice for early readers, parents, preschool and primary teachers, phonics classes, and home learning.
