This Series of Level 1 and Level 2 progressive readers is ideal for young children who are eager to begin sounding out words and reading, either on their own or with the help of a parent. Level 1 Book 1 begins with a very basic vocabulary of 18 words and each subsequent book in the series adds another 20 or 30 words to this "core vocabulary" and repeats many of these words. The story texts become progressively longer and more detailed in each book in the series but this follows the rapid development of the child's reading skills as well as the growth of their vocabulary. The fun-loving twins Paul and Mary are the heroes of these stories, which depict many enjoyable childhood adventures, discoveries and modern-day themes. The clear, colourful illustrations provide a valuable reference tool for the reader to learn to recognise key words. Look inside the front cover of this book for more information about these progressive readers: a proven method to help children progress quickly in their reading. Builds upon a "core Vocabulary" to help children become proficient readers. Core Vocabulary refers to those words in the English Language that are used most often when we speak, read and write. Although the vocabulary of an average adult speaker maybe high (20,000 words),there is a select subgroup of about 300 words - called the core vocabulary - that are essential for basic literacy. These words are used more frequently and more commonly than the others. The core vocabulary used in the Kohwai & Young's Paul and Mary Progressive Readers Series forms the cornerstone of the English we speak, read and write. Each book in the series uses a carefully chosen selection of words from the core vocabulary as an easy and effective way to learn to read. New words are introduced gradually and are repeated frequently, making it easy to master a growing number of words from the core vocabulary. The gradual addition of new words is a simple and effective method that builds confidence in early readers.
