This is a systematic activity-based reading programme that provides children with a lively and imaginative way to start reading — a skill vital to the development of self esteem and eventual educational success.

Each book’s colourful, fun-packed series of activities provides focused practice in 3 systematic steps to ensure progressive learning and to build confi dence in the child. By the end of the series, the child will have learnt to read up to 300 words.

3 systematic steps to ensure progressive learning and to build confi dence in the child

Ready to Read

A simple introduction to the concept before moving on to the main skill.

In Step 1, children learn to read new words through repeated exposure and practice via the Look and Say method. Simple sentences are also introduced to help children begin reading fl uently.

At this stage, children have various opportunities to practise the focus skill in a progressive manner.

In Step 2, children not only gain additional practice at reading the new words they have learnt, but also practise tracing key words to improve their motor skills as an introduction to writing.

At this fi nal stage, children get the opportunity to transfer the skills learnt in Steps 1 and 2 to more challenging situations.

In Step 3, children are required to read the text in order to complete a task-based activity such as matching or colouring.

Each unit ends with a summary I Can Read! to consolidate learning and bring a sense of achievement to the children.
