About Nessy

Nessy Tales books 1-5 provide confidence and support by using a small vocabulary of carefully selected words. The introduction of additional words is a gradual progression, building knowledge in small steps. The learning structure follows the UK National Curriculum, advancing from Consonant-Vowel-Consonant or C-V-C words (e.g. ‘t-a-p’), to C-C-V-C (e.g. t-r-a-p), and building to C-C-V-C-C (e.g. t-r-a-m-p) in book 5.

Many children will learn to read words when they are presented individually but it is vital that they transfer this learning to recognise words within the context of sentences and stories.

Why are Nessy Tales Different

Nessy Tales are animated reading books, structured with a limited vocabulary while retaining a vivid storyline. The careful choice of graded words provides vital reading practice at the beginning stages of reading but the story content is suitable for a slightly older age group who may have fallen behind.

These interactive books can act as a vital bridge between listening and reading. The animations provide visual entertainment and motivation.
Who are the books suitable for?

Reading ability 5-7 years (key stage 1), age appropriate content up to 12 years (key stage 2).

Nessy Tales are particularly suitable for reluctant readers or those with special educational needs. Dyslexic children often have an aversion to books. Past failure may cause confidence to be low and they do not have happy associations with books.
