About the Book

Are you a Year 1 teacher, or a parent of a 4-6 year old? As every Year 1 teacher knows, the alien or nonsense words that come with the Year 1 Phonics Screening sometimes feel a bit odd or a bit of a challenge! Learning to read these alien words is essential to passing the Screening, as part of their ongoing reading journey. A child needs to recognise and read the graphemes they have learned within words that don't really make sense.

Children can become flustered when faced with a word that they know isn't real. They can question the point of reading them. They may know their phonics really well, and read beautifully... but not blend correctly when reading these alien words. This book, and the accompanying flip-books, can give them the boost they need, building confidence with great practise and revision of using their Phonics to read alien words.
There are Aliens in Year 1! has been created to be a fun, engaging story which presents the idea of alien words in a playful way that makes sense to children, and brings the idea of the alien language to life in an accessible way.

The story:
On Monday morning, during an ordinary lesson, an alien spaceship crash lands in the Year 1 classroom. Luckily the window was open! The aliens on board can't speak English - only their own alien language!
Each day, they chatter away as they join in with the children in their PE, art and science lessons, in assembly, the dining room and on the playground. Can you read the words they say?
See what this group of excited aliens have to say as you join them having fun with the Year 1 class.

There are aliens in Year 1! will...

  • Introduce the idea of 'alien' or nonsense words in a way that makes sense to children
  • Engage children's interest in applying their Phonics knowledge to read these made-up words
  • Allow all children to have a go, with colour coded levelled speech bubbles to read
  • Compliment the learning from the three supporting flipbooks, or just be a great stand-alone story!
On each page, alongside the main story, there are speech bubbles from the aliens showing the words they are saying.
These speech bubbles are colour coded to show which phase of phonics they cover. The alien words are accessible to all children, at any stage of their phonics learning journey.
The colours correlate to three accompanying flip-books, which are interactive for children to create their own alien words. There are Aliens in Year 1! works well as a stand-alone story, or alongside these books.

If you would like to support your early reader these alien words in a fun and engaging way, with a purpose, then There are Aliens in Year 1! is perfect for you. This book makes a great class reader or teachers may like to make a week's project from it, recreating moments from the story and inspiring writing. Maybe aliens and their speech bubbles will start to pop up around your school and playground! Buy it today and see where the aliens take your young readers' imagination.

The There are Aliens in Year 1! series also includes three levelled flip books, linked to the colour coding in this book. These books follow the National Curriculum for children aged 4 to 6, so you can make sure your child or class is well-prepared for their reading assessment. Each book has pages which can be cut to create flaps that build alien words. They make excellent quick, daily practise activities to really reenforce and embed this concept and skill.
