READING ALONG
Bed-time readings are one of the most valuable moments a parent can share with their child. Viewing pictures is the first literacy experience. Exploring illustrations and creating stories around them sparks a child’s imagination, builds early literacy skills, stimulates language development and builds the relationship between parent and child.
But how to read books in which there are not more than just a few words?
It’s simple!
An illustration is just a prelude to a story – make it up together with your child. Explore the pictures, encourage your child to repeat words, ask questions, make suggestions, listen to the answers, share your thoughts, try out funny voices, be goofy, amaze yourselves. Simply, experience the story together.
Reading together builds your child’s vocabulary and expands language, imagination and creativity. It develops concentration and comprehension skills, along with a solid basis for future reading. Reading helps your child gain native and foreign language confidence. Young children are not afraid of making mistakes; they are open to experiment with language in a much more active way than adults.
So… experience magical moments with your child and a picture book in your hands!
Animal abc
„Animal abc” is part of a series of books, which introduces children to the world of written language. The first book in the series: „book to look” focuses on letters of the alphabet.
In the beginning, young children see letters only as a set of strange, graphic symbols, which do not evoke any connotations. Throughout the pages of “book to look”, friendly animals form themselves into the shapes of the first letters of their names.
An extremely flexible alligator forms itself into an A; an octopus wraps its arms into circle – the ideal shape of the letter O. Whales organize a sea parade and glide through the waves on a W shaped track and a zebra bends its legs and stretches its neck trying to form a Z. With the help of these warm and funny animal teachers, your child will find it much easier to begin “doodling and scribbling” the letters of the alphabet.
Your little reader will turn the pages to discover different animals and memorize each particular letter’s shape. Later, when your child sees regular letters it can easily associate them with the animals, which were shaped in a similar way. If a child knows the name of the animal, it can identify the first sound of the animal’s name and read the letter. This way “Animal abc – book to look” helps children identify letter-sounds recorded on paper and prepares them for reading.
Coming soon in the „Animal abc” series:

- „Guide to write” – this book will introduce children to the world of writing
- „Read to sleep” – a book of funny and ingenious rhymes about animals for each letter of the alphabet.
