Introduction The “strip books” in these Book-a-Week photocopy masters have been created to help early learners, as well as children with reading difficulties, learn to read and experience success at reading. The books are aimed at lower primar y but can be used across all year levels in the primar y school. There is one strip book for each week of the school year and themes such as Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are covered. The books are sequenced to start with the introduction of simple, basic sight words and move towards more challenging and complex words as the children develop their reading skills. Each strip book has an optional follow-up work sheet that can be used to help consolidate the comprehension and understanding of each of the books.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Educational benefits of the strip books include:

teaches concepts of print, directionality and spacing of words; introduces and reinforces sight words; teaches children to use picture clues when reading;

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

excellent class reading resource;

teaches children to use phonic clues, e.g. what does a word start with? teaches basic sentence structure; can be used to teach nouns, verbs and adjectives;

can be used to teach punctuation, e.g. full stops, question marks, exclamation marks and speech marks;

great resource for shared reading;

can be used as stor y starters for stor y writing; good readers for fluency;

m . u

inexpensive home reading resource.

w ww

It is recommended that when teachers photocopy the strip books they enlarge each page to fit onto A3 size paper to prevent visual and fine motor difficulties that some children may experience if using the size presented here.

. te

Children should be encouraged to trace the sentences in each stor y, copy each sentence, colour each picture and when possible, write their own stor y associated with each book. Many educational tasks can be developed from each of the books that will suit the individual needs of the children in your class, across all key learning areas.

o c . che e r o t r s super

The template at the back of each book has been included to allow teachers/children to make up their own “strip book”. Teachers can also enlarge each strip book page and join them all together in a Big Book that can be used as a teaching resource for shared guided reading.
