A Phase 1/Lilac book for children learning to read. This book without words covers the timings of key episodes in a child’s day: waking up, breakfast, going to school, lunch-time, the end of school, dinner-time and bed-time. Each photograph includes a clock-face showing the time of each event (always on the hour or half-hour), so that the children can make links to these events in their own lives. This book is designed for the first stage of teaching children to read, before they begin learning their letters. It is ideal for use at Phase 1 of a phonics programme. It is a wordless book that tells a story through pictures alone. All of Ransom’s Phase 1/Lilac Band books are designed to help children develop their speaking and listening skills and improve their vocabulary through creating and telling stories, exploring topics and stimulating discussion.
