Readers
- Classroom
The Basil and Ginger series of readers were first introduced
in the classroom with outstanding results. They lend themselves
to theme development with some classes going on farm excursions
and developing other activities based on the Basil and Ginger
theme. Many teachers use these readers as homework, where
a child takes one reader home each night.
How
They Work
Basil
and Ginger readers are a lot more than just readers. Apart
from the unique method of interspersed pictures they contain
all of the high frequency words from the major word lists
as provided in the Teaching
Procedures information. Each word is introduced within
the one theme being the Basil and Ginger farmyard and consistent
repetition helps children to learn and remember them. The
readers also have a gradual increase in difficulty, starting
with larger print and more illustrations and progressing
to readers with no illustrations and are an excellent introduction
to basic story books.

 Whether
as home work, if a child is being home schooled, or even
a parent wishing to spend a little more time helping their
child with reading, the Basil and Ginger readers are ideal.
Designed to complement all other reading programs they quickly
build reading confidence. As each reader is relatively short
the child soon feels a sense of achievement as he or she
works their way though the set of readers. The support
information produced to help teachers in the classroom
is also available to parents working with children at home
and is free to download
from this site.
