    About this ebook

    An adult literacy picture book designed to help teach adult complete beginners to both read and write. Designed for adult level 1 readers the book introduces no more than eight new words on every page and the PDF version is designed to be printed out so the student can then copy and learn to write the words as well as read them.

    The book itself has two main parts. Firstly, there is a story that commences with one illustrated word per page, but which then continues to use many of the most used words in UK English. The second part of the book comprises a work-sheet which can be printed out and used to help new readers write some of those words they have learned.

    Both parts of the book are meant for complete beginners. The first part is designed so that someone who is not a teacher can read the words out loud to the student, followed by the student remembering and then repeating the various pages until they can complete new pages themselves. The second part of the book is designed so that students can learn to write on their own by simply repeatedly copying the words they have learned both in block capitals and in script.
