Let’s read
Introduction
A good foundation in alphabet is crucial for all subjects, where reading and writing are involved.
These reading books are ideal for children to read to their parents, friends and teachers, putting in the sort of practice that is essential for early reading. They progress gradually in vocabulary and grammar, with amusing characters and story lines, that have already been tested and enjoyed by many children. All books are written in a variety of different styles, fact and fiction, rhymes and narrative and speech. They provide a link between the school and the home with interesting points for discussion and play acting in accordance with the Portuguese Language Curriculum.
