First Step to Early Years Book I (Kiran Shahnaz OUP)

First Steps to Early Years is a pre-primary series that brings fun into learning English.
Full colour activities in the English books 1 to 3 develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. It follows phonic-based learning, and focuses on developing letter recognition, handwriting, and language acquisition through vocabulary development.
As new vocabulary is introduced around familiar themes, such as family, animals and everyday events, children will soon be able to use the English language in their everyday lives. New graphemes are taught, and skills in sounding out and blending developed. Varied activities include colouring, drawing, join-the-dots, tracing, word searches, grouping, and linking word families, puzzles, rhymes, mazes, and maps.
