Description

Key to Reading is a series of readers for children aged between 4 and 8. It is based on the whole-word approach to teaching early reading. The whole-word approach is based on research findings which indicate that 65% of the words a child encounters in reading materials is made up of some 400 words. If a child can master these 400 words, he/she should be able to read and make sense of most of what he/she reads.

This series adopts a thematic approach to reading, so that children can relate more readily to the themes introduced in kindergartens and schools. Each title in the series introduces selected key words which increase in number and level of difficulty as the series progresses. Each key word is repeated an average of 9 to 10 times within the same story to ensure that children learn the meaning and use of the words in context.
