Book Overview
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. In book 3a, Peter and Jane have fun doing things they like in 36 new words including 'me', 'tea', 'bed' and 'give'. 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.

We Like 'The Things We Like'
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A great series to start your young ones off into the world of reading. Each book in the series introduces a set of new vocabulary and uses it in different ways and orders throughout the book. Each volume lets readers improve on their previous reading level by maintaining a consistent theme and characters. They can feel that they are doing better with each passing page. It helps to make reading autonomous as students can progress at their own pace and build their knowledge as they go. A helpful table of vocabulary can help students and teachers alike to review and practice and monitor vocabulary building. The only criticisms I might make is that it is for beginners so don't expect it to last long and it is a little pricey to build the set. Young readers will rapidly progress beyond these books, but maybe that is success. An occasional return to the books will provide review and pleasure. I use it with young second language learners and it works well. Some other readers start at too high a level for older students who are tackling English for the first time. This series is not intimidating.
