Level 1-2
The Books
  • Sentence patterns prevail, many phrases are repeated although there is usually a surprise ending.
  •  Pictures strongly support the text.
  •  Few words.
  •  The text is large.
The Learning Points
  • The story stays the same each time you read it.
  •   Picture clues and sentence patterns help.
  •  Children should point to and identify some letters.
  •  Children need to hold the book the right way up.
  •  Words are groups of letters.
  •  Print reads left to right, top to bottom.
  •  Children learn where to begin the story (at the front).
  •   There are spaces between words.
  •   Children are able to retell a story.
Helping your child
  •  Read with your child regularly.
  •  Look at the front cover together and discuss what the book might be about.
  •  Help your child to notice word patterns and picture clues.
  •  Encourage them to focus on text by finger pointing as they read.
  •   Have fun reading with your child and enjoy each success.

CHILDREN WILL BE RELYING HEAVILY ON MEMORY AND USE OF PICTURES.

THIS IS OK :)
