This book is part of a set designed for use alongside the Gumuz grade one textbook. Its purpose is to prepare young children for reading, by:
- Showing them that books are for enjoyment and information
- Demonstrating that reading is from left to right
- Helping them to identify and recognize some individual words within the story
- Encouraging them to think about the meaning of a story
- Integrating what they see and hear in the book with a subject (thematic unit) they are studying in class
- Developing their thinking (critical thinking, prediction, comparison) by asking them questions
- Developing the skill of prediction
This book has been created specifically for large group reading. The large text and pictures can help new readers to follow along as you read the book.
