Publisher's Synopsis
Reading Together is a learn-to-read series of high-quality picture books, for young children and parents to enjoy together. There are four levels - starting with red, then yellow, blue and finally green - each level consisting of six books and offering a variety of reading experiences. There are stories, poems, rhymes and songs, traditional tales and information books, created by some of this country's top authors and illustrators and this new collection includes established favourites such as A Friend for Little Bear; Hello, Goodbye and Mother Goose. To help you get the most out of the books, each contains its own set of illustrated support notes - at the front and back - outlining qualities in the text, giving reading pointers and suggesting a range of follow-up activities. More detailed guidance is available in a separate Parents' Handbook. Although there is a progression within the series, children can move back and forth between levels quite happily. Reading Together has been devised by Walker Books in conjunction with the internationally acclaimed authority on language and literacy teaching, the Centre for Language in Primary Education.
