The wipe-clean plastic sheet can be clipped to the activity pages at the end of each book for fun and engaging whole-class teaching.These refreshed editions are the same as previous editions in terms of number of pages, pagination and core content, but have been enhanced with:- New cover designs, colour-coded to match each group of letter sounds across other Jolly Phonics resources- Fresh and new full-page illustrations for each page- New-style, easy-to-follow letter formation guides- Information panels showing how to use each page- Additional items within each picture to tie in with the vocab
