A set of 10 books that introduce everyday concepts commencing with a single noun per page within Book A and B. Book B introduces the four main characters that are included throughout the scheme, and Book C uses and for the first time, thus enabling the reader to make progress at an early stage. The inclusion of characters adds interest and enjoyment to the books and is helpful when teaching gender and multi-cultural aspects of society.
The overall aim of these all important books is to create an interest in reading, reinforce the use of left to right orientation and build pupil confidence as the learn new symbols. As with all Symbols Making Sense books they may also be used to aid those pupils who have English as a second language. Clear and uncluttered illustrations aid understanding and the pre-set tasks supplied in the Teaching Guide (80 in all) provide teachers with a tool for assessing comprehension, and save valuable planning/preparation time.
