accurately demonstrate daily use of English. They can be used to teach readers literacy basics, such as how to blend sounds, as well as elements of advanced writing, such as use of metaphors and similes to convey meaning. Each book includes a short parents’ guide which provides the scaffolding for ESL students to understand the story more clearly. Native readers can use the parents’ guide to practice some language fundamentals in a fun and entertaining manner.
A team of illustrators have created engaging and intricate illustrations that not only depict the story but extend the meaning of the text even further. These illustrations support the linguistic features introduced by the text which provides opportunities to move the language focus from reception to practice and articulation through discussion.
Read With You presented the books at the Shanghai Book Fair earlier this month. The books enhanced the excitement of many who have waited with great anticipation to see the new products. The company will continue development of the series throughout 2018.
