 | | Phonic books with tapes such as the Ladybird series are also good for learning to read.

 | | Magazines for children have games in and are good for travelling too - Chick-a-dee, or Winnie |
| | the Pooh, or Thomas the Tank engine.
|
I usually buy small travel ones at the airport, or in the UK where they cost CHF 5 - CHF 10 each!! But there are Swiss ones too which are good – e.g. Kalle Kängu, or Monza.
|
There might be ones you can borrow until you decide which to buy.
