* a "Tips for Reading Together" page, giving parents practical ideas for helping with their child's reading
* a "Think about the Story" page providing stimulating ideas for parents to talk about with children when they are discussing the story
* a "Useful common words" panel to highlight high frequency words used in the story which have a close correlation with the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy.
