About This Book

This book is suitable for those children who are commencing their reading and writingeducational journey, ideally preschool to Grade 1, although exercises in cursivehandwriting have been included for the older child. Only about six new words are to bemastered in each lesson. These new words and the new elementary sounds are always tobe found in the vocabulary of the lesson in which they are first used.

The plan of the book enables the teacher to pursue the Phonic Method, the WordMethod, the Alphabet Method, or any combination of these methods.

There are 52 phonics lessons with a number of fun activities in each lesson. That is onelesson for every week of the year. At the end of the book are handwriting exercises in

both tracing and cursive handwriting for more common three letter words. The cursiveAlphabet in lower and upper case can be found towards the end of the book, as well as3 pages of handwriting lines : tracing, cursive and standard lines.

Colourful illustrations have been used throughout, and the skilled teacher will be able touse them to great advantage.

The script exercises throughout the book and the writing exercises at the end have beenspecially written and carefully prepared for this book; they may be used to teach the

reading of cursive, and as exercises in learning to write.

I have no doubt that you will find this book a fun, useful and necessary addition to youreducational material.

Blessings to you and your little one on your educational journey.

Miss May tells the girls and boys that they should be at theschoolhouse when the bell rings. So Henry walks fast, and is

of the school.

Ned is not a good boy. I do not think he likes to go to

school or to church.

LESSON 45 - REVIEW

One day Nat and I sat on the high hill by the sea, where the tall

lighthouse stands. We could look far out, and could see the ships

at sea.

As we sat there, we saw a man near by, with some sheep and

lambs. The man had a pipe in his mouth. He sat with us, and let

the sheep eat the grass.

What fun it is to see lambs play! It made us laugh to see them.

The man said that once, when the sheep and lambs were out

in the snow, an old wolf took one of the lambs, and ran off with it.

I think that men should watch their sheep, so that a wolf can

not catch them.
