Any parent or guardian of school age children will be well aware of the infamous world of Biff, Chip and Kipper that merrily guide our little ones through the early stages of literacy, and with a 7 and 4 year old in our house it seems we have a new book coming home from school most days.
Taking new readers from their very first taste of phonics, these books have become an invaluable resource for us as we attempt to support our kids reading especially having experienced so much disruption to the school year due to Covid. The kids love the continuity of the familiar characters in each story and are able to easily relate to story lines based on homelife, play and, of course, a little bit of imagination.
I was absolutely delighted then when I realised that a huge selection of the Biff, Chip and Kipper books were available for FREE if you are an Amazon Kids + subscriber - which we are!
Throughout our homeschooling journey in 2020 and even now as we try to develop our elder child's reading confidence and our 4 years old's letter recognition skills, having these books on hand has meant that we have been able to have reading material at home that is suitable for the reading level that our child is currently at.
If you aren't sure if you are an Amazon Kids+ subscriber, if you own a Amazon Fire Tablet for Kids chances are you are. When you purchase a Fire Tablet for Kids you get 1 years subscription free to Amazon Kids+ giving you access to hundreds of books, games, TV shows which switches to a £1.99 a month payment after the first 12 months.
It has been so easy for us to download Biff, Chip and Kipper stories onto the kids tablets and the Amazon Kids+ and Kindle Apps for iOS and Android allow us to have them on our phones which make reading practice a handy and fun activity for when we have a little waiting time too.
I am really passionate about making reading as easy and accessible as possible and having such great quality reading books so readily available is, for me, definitely worth investing in.
