Books with author june-crebbin

Suitable for children in Year 2 (age 6), The Pyjama Party is from the Cambridge Reading genre strand Stories with Familiar Settings, a strand where children can identify with the setting and characters and make links with their own experiences. The Pyjama Party is one of nine books written by June Crebbin and illustrated by Peter Kavanagh. Each story centres on the everyday lives of children from two neighbouring families. Young readers will easily relate to the kind of situations in which the children find themselves, and will enjoy meeting the same characters across the nine books. Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) offers fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to introduce children to a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading. This pack of 6 is for guided group reading.

The Pyjama Party playscript tells the story of Emma's exciting birthday party where she has dancing, pillow fights, ghost stories and some mysterious vanishing jam tarts! It is one of six playscripts from the Cambridge Reading Range of Genres Strand (Stories With Familiar Settings) for children in Key Stage 1/Primary 2 and 3. This guided group reading pack of six comes with free teacher notes containing general guidance on using the play together with more specific teaching points and follow-up activities, allowing children to practice reading, speaking and listening skills. There are six characters in this play, and the order in which the characters are listed on the page reflects the contribution they make. The Pyjama Party playscript is an adaptation of an existing Cambridge Reading storybook which gives children the opportunity to reinforce their reading of the original text.
