More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Key Words with Peter and Jane uses the most frequently met words in the English language as a starting point for learning to read successfully and confidently. The Key Words reading scheme is scientifically researched and world renowned.
Book 1b follows on from 1a and introduces 16 new words, including 'toys', 'has', 'trees' and 'ball'. Once this book has been completed, the child moves on to book 3b.
The Key Words with Peter and Jane books work because each of the key words is introduced gradually and repeated frequently. This builds confidence in children when they recognise these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning). Examples of key words are: the, one, two, he.
There are 12 levels, each with 3 books: a, b, and c.
Series a:
Gradually introduces new words
Series b:
Provides further practise of words featured in the 'a' series
Series c:
Links reading with writing and phonics. All the words that have been introduced in each 'a' and 'b' book are also reinforced in the 'c' books

Look at this, is a wonderful very early reader. Written by a Headmaster in the 1970s, the scheme teaches the basic reading skills by introducing simple, key words. There is plenty of repetition throughout the book enforing the words whilst remaining interesting enough to keep the attention of a young child. This second book uses the same vocabulary as the first.
The type face of the words is large and clear, making it easy for a youngster to recognise the letters. Capitalisation and full stops are the only punctuation used at this stage. The book builds up from three words per page, to around 10 per page at the end.
The layout of the book is very uncluttered, with one clean page of type facing an illustration, meaning the pictures do not distract from the reading skill. They do however compliment the story nicely and are an excellant discussion point if the child gets tired of "working". The style of the illustration is very 1970s and the content is perhaps not quite "politically correct" for the 21 century, but if you can ignore this (and most children I know can!) then you have a delightful, and skillfully written book that will teach your child to read quickly.
I learned with this book, and now my son is well on his way too.

My son is 4 and a half years old and has learnt to read this book. We have also used "Janet and John" and "Dick and Jane" and have found this method to be the best. When compared this book has about half the number of new words and has far fewer pages (so you can finish it in one sitting). Text is presented on the left hand pages and a full page painting on the right. The artwork on each page has a lot to talk about and my son finds them more engaging than the other methods. Books 1a and 1b are similar with the same words introduced in a different order - provides variation for reading at the same level. Highly recommended.
Format:Hardcover
a big must for anyone who can remember these books they are a great favorite for any one who can remember what these books are about and to teach simple and straight forward english a must for anyone
