Here (Level 1 Book 2)
To the Teacher:
This is primarily a 'discussion' book; it is designed to stimulate talk rather than to be read in the strict sense of the word. There can be as many versions of the story as there are children in your class.
The text plays an important part, especially for children who are experiencing the printed word for the first time, and all should be helped to read the words in context on the page. But the illustrations are more important. They are there to tell the story as well as to stimulate language development and foster visual awareness, and they are designed to encourage the reader to predict what may happen next before turning the page. Reading competence depends on many things but the ability and the inclination to make predictions are paramount at this stage. Discussion of the books between child and teacher or between child and child should be free and wide ranging, but prediction and telling the story first play a central part.
