How to choose an adequate book? If you are in a book shop / library, it is quite normal
that children are attracted to books for the wrong reasons so do a simple hand check.
Ask the child to open the book on a random page.
Ask him/her to start reading.
Take note of mispronounced words.
Let’s try Popcorn Reading Activity Ziti Mandy marret ġita Ma’ Dun Bert il-kappillan, Waslu Ruma l-Ħadd filgħodu Fis-sagħtejn kienu Milan. Sebħu t-Tnejn ġol-belt ta’ Vjenna, Iżda xejn ma tilfu ħin, Sa fl-għaxija kienu Munich, Stutgart, Frankfurt u Berlin! Wiċċha vampa z-zija Mandy Tiġri w tagħqad daqs żugraga, Klikk - klikk- klikk - ritratt war’ ieħor Sabet ruħha ġo nofs Praga. U t-trejn sejjer -- dejjem sejjer... “Dritt lejn Warsaw nivvjaġġaw! Ġa rajnieh! Tlaqnieh warajna! W issa ġbidna lejn Krakaw!”
Ħadu l-breakfast l-Ungerija, F’Moska kielu ikla bnina, Min-North Pole xtraw semi-freddo U fl-għaxija raqdu ċ-Ċina. “Dak il-ġmiel,” iz-zija qalet, “Biex tarah trid seb’għajnejn!” (Għalkemm qattgħet din il-ġita Nofs fil-kowċ u nofs fit-trejn!) U ġiet lur’ għarqana xraba, U b’nifisha daqsxejn fgat; Iżda qalet li f ’dil-ġita Kważi d-dinja kollha rat! U għalhekk, għas-sena d-dieħla Ġa ppjanat, iz-zija Mandy Illi s-sajf tmur tqattgħu kollu Għall-mistrieħ ġo flat ix-Xlendi.
