My Vacation Journal is a delightful travel journal designed for children aged 6 to 11. In full colour and totally interactive, it aims to entertain as well as educate young travellers. Using general themes related to travel and vacations, the journal invites children to relate their vacation experience through drawings, collages, games and other activities. For the first time, children get to document their travel experience, just like their parents! The journal's lively presentation stimulates children's creativity.
It introduces children to different types of reading text. Speech bubble stories give children the opportunity of acting out the text; 'Colin in Computerland' provides revision and language presentation through an exciting adventure story; and the 'Extended reading' sections include topic-based information, rhymes, and jokes.
JOURNEYS Write-in Readers are consumable work texts that keep students interacting with text and focus on vocabulary and reading comprehension. They help struggling children reach grade-level competencies.
Word Family Cards makes learning the basics fun. Reading research proves there are thirty-seven essential rimes (phonograms) children must learn. These common spelling patterns allow children to read and spell over five hundred words. Skilled readers decode words quickly. Rereading word family words helps children gain confidence and read fluently. These 37 large, ready-to-read word family cards can be used as flash cards to reinforce the word families such as ack, ail, ake, ale, ame, an, ank, ap, and so on.
