Up Downs provides an enjoyable and simple way for parents to introduce early reading and writing concepts to children (aged 2-5 years old) in the home.

The Up Downs approach, endorsed by leading educators, encourages children to develop an awareness of print in their environment and a love of reading. It uses movement, song and games to help children recognise alphabet letters, draw letter shapes and make their sounds.

In addition, the delightful Up Downs' songs in the book encourage parents and children to sing and dance together. The wonderfully illustrated Up Downs' stories will capture the imagination of any child.Up Downs is a book to be enjoyed by both parent and child. It includes:

  • seven beautifully illustrated stories
  • an easy-to-follow parent's guide to help children with letter recognition
  • an illustrated alphabet for children to trace their own letters
  • songs for parents and their children.
