Literacy Books

Literacy is the ability to use language effectively. It involves the mastery of skills such as readingwritinglistening and speaking. The task of helping and encouraging young learners to read and write effectively is gratifying.

High literacy affects the lives of everyone in society. Research has shown that high literacy and economic development have a strong positive correlation. Even the general health and wellbeing of the community benefits from high literacy levels.

The importance of literacy comes from the fact it forms the backbone upon which individuals interact with the world, enlighten themselves, and effectively contribute to society. Literacy programs offer parents the primary resources required to aid learners in the development of language skills and literacy. The ability to research, decode and understand information gives us all freedom to make our own decisions, to make up our minds on matters affecting us. Knowledge of reading and writing empowers us and gives us a stronger voice even when it comes to issues of civic engagement.

But let’s face it; the reading bug has bitten not everyone. Parents and teachers now have access to a wide range of primary teaching resources available for reluctant readers. These primary resources include booksgames, toys and worksheets. Some kids find it difficult to read, decode and comprehend text. These children may display an agitation when they come across a complicated text or in other instances some may refuse outright to attempt the activity. Investigations have been conducted to develop primary teaching resources that can help these reluctant readers.

Books are an essential part of our daily lives. Books offer readers the opportunity to benefit from the experiences of others. A good book can alter behaviours, perceptions and reader in so many other different ways. Schools use books to improve kids’ primary resources English, impart knowledge, and also as primary resources instruction manuals to problem-solving. Generally, primary school books aren’t published with reluctant readers in mind. This results in a definite learning disadvantage to readers who require extra help. You should always try to choose primary resources literacy books that capture and attention of young readers. The content delivered must, therefore, be familiar and relevant to them.

Alphabet Books

Alphabet books are a great way to introduce letters and promote phonemic cognisance and vocabulary growth. Naturally, these books primarily aim young readers who are embarking on their KS1 literacy journey. The content in an alphabet book is usually in big letters, with lots of images and easy to read font.

Graded Readers

Graded readers are books that have been ‘toned down so that they can be easily understood at a particular reading level. The grading referred is with regards to grammar, vocabulary and number of words. The levels cover from early to advanced readers. Graded readers are handy primary teaching resources when it comes to teaching kids who are facing some challenges with reading. Most of these young readers may end up being frustrated by compound words and grammar that they come across in more advanced books. The reader would be trying to read beyond their level. readers offer a refreshing change from traditional primary school books. They allow the reader to progress level to level improving at every stage. Young kids find it simpler to comprehend the information provided in graded readers. This is an excellent way to motivate learners and get them reading more.

Primary Resources English – Books

Primary school learners require books that excite their interest and keep them engaged. Key stage 1 (KS1) refers to year 1 and year 2 of schooling in England. This is generally between the ages of five and seven. The curriculum covered here is for infant school and in some cases also includes the first year of primary school. These are undoubtedly the formative years where developmental traits are nurtured. KS1 literacy resources are developed by using a variety of tools and techniques. These techniques consider the age and reading level of individual learners, which is critical when you’re teaching young readers.

KS2 literacy is made up of reading, writing, speaking and listening. The level is a bit higher since the learners involved will be older than KS1. Topics covered in KS2 literacy include dramapoetry, myths and legends. The content in the KS2 curriculum also includes newspaper articles, information texts and autobiographies. The reading objective of KS2 literacy is to allow the learners to move from decoding information to interpretation. This happens when learners can understand text contained in primary teaching resources, recognise figurative language and use structure.

Readings an exciting part of learning literacy. It should not be seen as a nightmare or as something that needs enduring. Traditional primary school books can easily frustrate most learners when they try to read. The material in such textbooks is not necessarily geared towards simplifying the subject matter. It is, therefore, essential to start with the reader where they are and progressively move on to advanced material.
