It provides tools for educators to facilitate learners in the development of basic literacy skills during the first three years of schooling (grades 1 to 3) and a unique series of full-colour, illustrated activity-based books for beginner readers.</span><u><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br /></span></o:p></span></u></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><u><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">Marjorie</span></u><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">: “I believe that many of South Africa’s children have untapped potential. I believe any healthy child has the potential to become a creative, productive adult if they are provided care, professional guidance, suitable stimulation and good quality resources (most of all, books!) at a very early stage of their education. For this reason I poured my heart into this project, the <i style="">Bright Books</i>, for the children of South Africa. I have tried to create a literacy series that will give our young children a good, broad grounding.”<o:p><br /></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">The primary objective of the <i style="">Bright Books</i> is to guide learners along the early steps towards learning to read and write. But the author’s approach is innovative and, although applicable throughout the English-speaking world, the series is tailored for the South African youth. Throughout the books in the series the young reader will learn a tremendous amount about values and life in general, in subtle addition to “school work” like basic maths concepts that form the core of each story. The author has managed to tell the stories in such a manner that the tale and the characters come first, while the lessons are unobtrusive, discreet and learnt through the fun of reading and enjoying the pictures.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">These books are intended to provide so much fun that the kids won’t even notice that they are learning to read while they are enjoying the </span><i style=""><span style="font-size:100%;">Bright Books.</span><o:p></o:p></i></span></p> <span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269900612117316209.post-12450439821759259212007-09-20T10:55:00.001+02:002007-09-21T12:55:53.970+02:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBKyhtxvqHbI3j1TR00qhwZHZnWdRRojATMviu0h5_tI-6_bw4FPnIgG5ZAAdWohis6cYcOtTmZHKh9ctungtMM93JnVlA-rGxaEWJlWjEcOWRppAhFnHuKtXEeSZkt67tTwZLklVCoECz/s1600-h/xanimals.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBKyhtxvqHbI3j1TR00qhwZHZnWdRRojATMviu0h5_tI-6_bw4FPnIgG5ZAAdWohis6cYcOtTmZHKh9ctungtMM93JnVlA-rGxaEWJlWjEcOWRppAhFnHuKtXEeSZkt67tTwZLklVCoECz/s320/xanimals.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112275668670560786" border="0" /></a><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">About the <i style="">Bright Books</i> for Grade 1:<br />(Grades 2 & 3 below)</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">*Eleven full-colour activity-based readers each containing 4-5 stories, lists of <i style="">Bright words</i> and <i style="">Bright things to do.</i><o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">*A <i style="">Teacher’s Guide</i> with assessment guidelines and <i style="">critical</i> and <i style="">specific</i> outcomes alongside a wealth of activities.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">*A pupil’s <i style="">Workbook</i>.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">*Four wall charts<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">The eleven readers form the core of an exciting South African activities-based reading scheme that appeals to all children. The fun characters, familiar surroundings and stimulating activities turn reading into a colourful adventure. The eleven books are vibrant with fun stories and appealing illustrations that encourage visual literacy. The stories and the delightful, humorous illustrations were created by one of the country’s leading children’s writers, Marjorie van Heerden.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">The set of <i style="">Bright Books</i> created for Grade 1 learners form a progressive course, starting with Book 1 (<i style="">The cat book)</i> all the way through to Book 11 (<i style="">The chicken book</i>). Each story could be “read” without the words, but each illustration has some words associated with it and those words are also listed at the end of the story. For example, the very first story <i style="">“A cat in a cap”</i> is followed by 9 “<i style="">Bright words”</i> (a; cap; in; look; where; and; cat; is; the). The second story <i style="">“A fat cat”</i> uses the same words and introduces two new ones (fat & fish). Each story is then followed by suggested activities (<i style="">Bright things to do</i>) which use the same words in fun ways to associate the written word with the object and/or the context it refers to. These are simple introductory steps to reading, taken in such a way that the learner is stimulated and often amused, while constantly developing the basic skills of literacy. Progressively, the eleven books expand the vocabulary or the learner and the complexity of the content. The eleven readers are accompanied by a detailed Teacher’s Guide of 399 pages.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">In developing the eleven Grade 1 books, the author first identified and analysed various areas of development in the young child and then wrote a story to address each area. She listed a number of elements in each story suitable for discussions and or practical activities for the learners. Those activities were then formulated by professional educators, listed after each story as <i style="">Bright things to do</i> and also covered in the <i style="">Teacher’s Guide</i>.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Verdana;">While the books focus primarily on the development of literacy skills, the subjects chosen for the stories cover a wide range of areas, including counting and basic maths concepts, spatial awareness, (concepts like up, down, in, out, over, under); shapes; opposites; food groups; safety; night and day; naming <span style=""> </span>the body parts; emotions and many more. The stories offer a wealth of delightful illustrations and familiar situations to stimulate and encourage visual literacy and to draw the learner into amusing stories. The situations and characters described and the colourful illustrations are often humorous and this creates an easy, light-hearted learning situation, where the development of reading skills is associated with pleasure. (Marjorie van Heerden regards the development and retention of reading-for-pleasure habits as a fundamental and very important challenge in the new South Africa).</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269900612117316209.post-62000603932641358722007-09-20T10:54:00.000+02:002007-09-20T16:54:21.827+02:00The cat book - Book 1 of 11 (Grade 1)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW7fSmALE_MzN5wkp7QYre8YDV72-jJ0Ws7RKcmdFqp2-29YcdkUNhJLszamVNtcaNZOOa5RZR206Fx-u228HtEErn-eolP0PZMsXBk9Mz7fm28rlBNW1t_rGXpAVGdtbJtAHVo5Zcq40j/s1600-h/015-BB-The-Cat-Book-01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112207271316371778" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW7fSmALE_MzN5wkp7QYre8YDV72-jJ0Ws7RKcmdFqp2-29YcdkUNhJLszamVNtcaNZOOa5RZR206Fx-u228HtEErn-eolP0PZMsXBk9Mz7fm28rlBNW1t_rGXpAVGdtbJtAHVo5Zcq40j/s320/015-BB-The-Cat-Book-01.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:100%;">Author and illustrator: Marjorie van Heerden<br />Book user: Reader<br />Category: English Grade 1<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:100%;">SUMMARY: <i style="">The cat book</i> introduces learners to the many pleasures of literacy.

In this second set of stories and activities (<i>Bright things to do</i>) the acquisition of literacy is continued on a more advanced level. Simultaneously Marjorie van Heerden has subtly shifted the thematic focus of the 23 stories she wrote and illustrated for these four books, each set in the season it will be used, <i>The summer book, The autumn book, The winter book</i> and <i>The spring book</i>. In the Grade 2 set of readers the author put the thematic focus subtly (and always cloaked in a interesting story with stimulating full-colour illustrations) on the acquisition of and respect for <b>codes of social behaviour.</b></p><br /><p>The stories, always populated by amusing and familiar characters in exciting situations and often tinged with humour, unobtrusively introduce the reader to those basic codes of social behaviour as exemplified for instance in: Respect for self and others, similar or different to yourself; Respect for the environment; Pride in who you are. While developing the learner’s reading and literacy skills, the stories also help the reader to develop self confidence, initiative and skills such as communication and entrepreneurship on a basic level.</p><br /><p>Marjorie: “Learning the codes of social behaviour through the story format at an early age has proven to be lasting. On the other hand, learning the codes of social behaviour through an authority figure, as is so often the case, has the danger that as the child grows older there is the distinct possibility (which happens more often than not) that the child becomes disillusioned by that authority figure. Sadly, the next step, almost inevitably, is some form of violence. We have too many examples in our own society... I believe it is essential that young children should be exposed to wonderfully entertaining, stimulating and memorable stories that will help them develop literacy, a love for reading and, at the same time, subtly help them to learn the basic codes of social behaviour.”</p><br /><p>The 23 stories in the four Grade 2 books follow a progressive curve in the development of basic literacy skills in terms of vocabulary and grammatical use of familiar and new words. At the same time the stories become progressively more complex in terms of content, situation and implication.</p><br /><p>To develop the learner’s reading skill even further, each of the 23 stories is followed in the “<i>Bright things to do</i>” section by a set of games and phonics exercises that eventually cover ALL the sounds used in standard spoken English. In the “<i>Word Fun!</i>” section after each story a new set of words is highlighted. These words, selected from the previous story, introduce a new set of sounds in spoken English. Through phonics games and exercises the learner is taught to connect sounds with specific letters and groups of letters. At the same time s/he develops a good grounding in spelling and pronunciation.</p><br /><p>As in the Grade 1 series, the stories for Grade 2 offer a wealth of delightful illustrations and familiar situations to stimulate and encourage visual literacy and to draw the learner into amusing stories. Once again the situations and characters described and the colourful illustrations are often humorous, providing an easy, light-hearted learning situation, where the development of reading skills is associated with pleasure. And once again the stories reflect life in South Africa, taking special care to celebrate and reflect our wonderful multi-cultural environment.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269900612117316209.post-91670480890026062712007-08-04T15:17:00.001+02:002007-09-21T15:00:43.698+02:00The summer book - Book 1 of 4 (Grade 2)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_LPu8SwgPrX2V5cSciOvRu07Aj_QyR5LAxpEdsbPgGbgBb9SIWVgRqgKiXOwLw11Q4OACfCr4esorJeNT42zUUyQ0FEp2gdYA246qT0u0PoIisQEe-c-dMtnfGkraCNNVpG58t-j_-Ye/s1600-h/006-12--BB-The-Summer-Book-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112209272771131746" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_LPu8SwgPrX2V5cSciOvRu07Aj_QyR5LAxpEdsbPgGbgBb9SIWVgRqgKiXOwLw11Q4OACfCr4esorJeNT42zUUyQ0FEp2gdYA246qT0u0PoIisQEe-c-dMtnfGkraCNNVpG58t-j_-Ye/s320/006-12--BB-The-Summer-Book-.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span lang="EN-GB">Author and illustrator: Marjorie van Heerden<br />Book user: Reader<br />Category: English Grade 2<o:p><br /></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: verdana;">SUMMARY: </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">The summer Book</i><span style="font-family: verdana;"> contains six stories that are designed to bridge Grade 1 and Grade 2 and enable the learners to develop more challenging skills.</span><o:p><br /></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" lang="EN-GB" >Bright Books Literacy Series - Grade 2 - Book 1</span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><i style="font-family:verdana;"><span lang="EN-GB">The summer book</span></i></span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> –</span> <span style="font-size:100%;">soft cover (170 x 245mm portrait), 76 pgs</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >ISBN 0625027450</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWiMMMXfc-xkSqUkgt3mGf3b9_apE5lVUOXzw_N30JKt7B3x4xRWTHfFzJcqBSnXrAB8IDZGeJYXrA3ha_6mBWNbxQ0Ofd7sKHedTui960Ad3cX3ECC3j8Taaoo75QHO-r3P0-K3WmCTk/s1600-h/006-12--BB-The-Summer-Book-.jpg"></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269900612117316209.post-32337185680117370492007-08-04T15:16:00.000+02:002007-09-21T15:12:49.447+02:00The autumn book - Book 2 of 4 (Grade 2)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEL8HjD8rDm9nnDi16oZDWNzknGQupOIvM-whOukk9Eh6bLLc2caKIG3G21etgw8Kn6nEYYNQKZLTzriWhaePO-374-PbEjTk9jT7v9ntSo5U-s-jfFV6zBXTBIhm49V8BWc81q7U0Xblz/s1600-h/007--13--BB-The-Autumn-Book.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112209624958450034" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEL8HjD8rDm9nnDi16oZDWNzknGQupOIvM-whOukk9Eh6bLLc2caKIG3G21etgw8Kn6nEYYNQKZLTzriWhaePO-374-PbEjTk9jT7v9ntSo5U-s-jfFV6zBXTBIhm49V8BWc81q7U0Xblz/s320/007--13--BB-The-Autumn-Book.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span lang="EN-GB">Author and illustrator: Marjorie van Heerden<br />Book user: Reader<br />Category: English Grade 2 <o:p><br /></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span lang="EN-GB">SUMMARY: <span style="font-style: italic;">The autumn books</span> is the second of four graded reader/activity books in the Bright Books Literacy Series for Grade 2.
