This book starts with the first basic words that may be spoken by your child. They include ‘People and Objects’ such as ‘Mammy’, ‘Daddy’, ‘baby’ and ‘car’. These words are accompanied by real-life pictures with one word and one picture per page. This format is to facilitate full concentration on the word being learned. This ensures the child is not distracted by other information on the page. Next in the book are a series of rhyming sentences containing the words already studied. There is also a reminder of the pictures matching the words. This provides your child with the opportunity to view the word being learned in a constructed sentence. The next set of words are ‘Common’ ones such as ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘up’, and ‘down’. These are again accompanied by real-life pictures, facilitating a more comprehensive learning experience. The common words are integrated into a story called ‘Mary’s Birthday Party’ and include the relevant pictures. This first book is an exciting introduction to basic words. We hope you enjoy using this book in the early learning journey of your child!
