Description
It is important to note, that the Afrikaans Blue Reading Series, is for children studying Afrikaans, either as a first or second language.
The Montessori-aligned, blue reading series, continues to use only phonetic words with short vowels. However, the phonetic words in the blue series are longer; 4 to 5 letters in length. The Child is learning to put more complex sounds together to make longer words.
Due to the extremely phonetic nature of the Afrikaans language, it is not necessary to return to word building at this stage. Therefore, the Child is introduced to 4/5 letter reading through picture word cards and reading lists.
Features of the Afrikaans Blue Reading Series:
- the direct objective for the Child is to :
- phonetically read 4 to 5 letter, short vowel words
- indirectly, the Child can:
- recognise letters and sound them out
- increase their vocabulary
- develop the foundation of writing
- match words to images
- a range of materials to support the Child’s means of learning
- aligned to the Montessori language curriculum, with modifications
Contents of the Afrikaans Blue Reading Series:
- blue picture-word sheets and cards: the Child matches words to the pictures on the A4 sheets
- 8 x A4 control sheets with 8 images per sheet. Each sheet is in a plastic envelope for display. The cards are stored in a pocket on the back of the plastic envelope
- 8 word lists
