Throughout this module your child will work on theme-related activities. These activities have been chosen, above all, for your child's enjoyment and to introduce some important skills. Your child will compare many versions of some favourite tales. As your child listens to these tales, he or she will find that all of the stories contain a set of basic elements. Most importantly, fairy tales kindle your child's imagination. Your child will also be introduced to a set of commonly used reading words. You should introduce these new reading words to your child in each section. It is important that you keep these activities short and make them an enjoyable experience.
REMEMBER to order the shared resources for the Grade 1 Program. They can be found under the separate heading titled, "Grade 1 Shared Resources".
