The story can be spoken aloud, so a child can listen as well as read.
Word-by-word highlighting

Reading practice
Read-along activities that let a reader follow the text at their own pace.
Educational discovery
Subjects the engine is designed to support include animals, fish and marine life, nature, weather, science and interesting facts.
