    About this ebook

    Lee and Pat really like animals. They like all animals, and they have some animals that they look after in their garden. Lee has some chickens, and Pat has a duck. Pat's duck is very special. This duck thinks it is the same as Pat. It thinks it is a girl. It thinks it is a girl, and it likes to go with Pat everywhere Pat goes. This duck even goes to school with the other children!

     

     

    This entertaining new series of simplified, illustrated graded readers has been designed to enable children to learn to read by themselves, needing only minimal help from parents or teachers.

    The Word by Word series is intended for English-speaking children learning to read as well as children learning English as a second or foreign language. This collection contains Books 5 and 6 of the series. .

    All the details in the books are revealed in language (words and structure) that has been rigorously selected to be as simple and understandable as possible for young readers.

    For example, did you know that just 25 most commonly used words make up about one-third of all words written or spoken in English? The first 100 most frequently used words make up about one-half of all written and spoken English. By the end of the 12-book Word by Word series, children will have learned the 1,000 most frequently used words which comprise more than 99% of all written and spoken English.

    The content of all Word by Word readers is based on extensive, diligent research into the most frequently used English words and structures. The key words and structures are presented gradually and systematically throughout the series. For example, all new words and structures are repeated at least 15 times subsequent to their first appearance in the series. This, together with the phonic emphasis in each book, ensures effective and rapid learning as well as maximum retention and comprehension. It is this very systematic control of vocabulary and structure that makes Word by Word graded readers unique.

    All the books in the series have been extensively trialed and repeatedly improved over a period of many years and are now proven to be extremely effective in building functional literacy in children of many ages and nationalities, including the author's own children.

    By the end of the series, the child will have learned to read and understand all of the most important English words and structures. At this point, the child will be functionally literate and fully capable of independent reading.
