First steps to reading and writing

This text aims to investigate just how much can be done at the early stages of foreign language teaching in the way of preparing young learners for reading and writing.

It demonstrates how pupils can experience success and a sense of progression in their early years at school, which should provide useful groundwork and should hold them in good stead for their secondary school work.

The aim is to ensure that young learners remain interested and motivated, and to get them accustomed to working with written text, and for them to enjoy experimenting with words.

The book offers advice and contains practical examples of teaching techniques.
