Interactive, fun, easy, natural, and inspiring! As children learn to read with this new series they also grow in character and moral values. Instructions are so detailed and clear that even new teachers or parents without teaching experience can get great results. It uses teaching methods with decades of success in the United Kingdom, America, Australia, and New Zealand—Synthetic Phonics, Guided Reading, and Inductive Whole-word Phonics. The talking books and activity books are so much fun, and so inspirational, that children will want to use them even if they already know how to read or are learning to read with another system in school. These books are designed not only as stand-alone reading instruction, but also to complement almost all systems of teaching reading. Dr Best has created a delightful series of readers that not only assist in the development of reading skills for young readers but foster the spiritual values so important in today's world. These readers can be used flexibly to develop decoding skills, comprehension strategies, foster critical thinking or to share for pure enjoyment when used effectively in the context of the classroom or home. This series of books will complement any classroom reading programme.
