Description

It is time to go to sleep! Freddy is NOT ready.

In this bedtime story, the excuses Freddy makes to avoid going to bed are countered by a caring adult parent in rhyme and with reason. This approach fosters an important phonological skill, and research has shown a positive correlation between phonological awareness and a child’s reading ability.
This playful exchange of words not only enhances your child’s reading skills but also presents a story that is relatable to both children and adults alike.
