Wordbooks are important building blocks for developing reading, writing, speaking and listening at foundation level.  This workbook will help build English vocabulary using scenes from the world that children know.  It is an essential tool in the foundation phase classroom.

The book takes children from the known to the unknown by showing familiar scenes and introducing new key words.  The simple activities on the last page extend visual literacy, sorting and language skills.

You can read this book in many ways.  Here are some ideas:
