This beautifully illustrated two-in-one learn-to-read book with its carefully designed format has been adapted to introduce the basic learning skill required to establish a solid foundation in the young readers' journey to become fluent readers.
This specially adapted two-in-one format is structured to engage, encourage, and stimulate the reader.
The first part of the book is the story in a sequence of illustrations only, where the reader will be encouraged to look and tell, using their language to develop a storytelling technique letting the conversation flow and gaining them the confidence that will enhance their reading skill.
Join in effectively with questions referring to the illustrations, while letting the reader establish the look and tell process. This is one of the most valuable techniques that will prepare them with the important reading skill required.
Moving on to the next level of the two-in-one book: Illustrations and text.
Carefully read through pointing to each word individually. Re-read letting the reader point carefully to each word and look closely at the word's beginnings and endings. Point out rhyming words and discuss and say their sounds. Let them explore and recognise that rhyming words don't always have the same endings even though they sound the same.
Repetitive language has been used to enable the reader to learn by sight. Sight vocabulary is another important skill that will assist in learning to read.
Look, tell, read and enjoy using this beautifully well-illustrated and written book.
By using the skills which I have outlined, the reader will gain the knowledge and confidence which will take them on to a wide range of reading material. Reading should be enjoyable and not a chore. Enjoy, young readers!
