Cambridge Reading is a major scheme providing stimulating books and support materials for the teaching of reading throughout the elementary years. Key features include: A coherent yet flexible structure for teaching and learning; a variety of attractive picture books; a balance of text types and genres, including stories, poems and information books; an integrated phonics programme; comprehensive support materials. The Beginning to Read books give children a first experience of reading. Children will respond to the events in Bill Gillham's Two Babies, which is illustrated by Adriano Gon. Two babies make friends and play together to begin with. As their relationship develops, things become less peaceful... until the end, when they fall asleep.
