ABSTRACT
This chapter is adapted from Young Literacy Learners: how we can help them (Clark, 1994). The full text of two of the little books from which illustrations are included here was in the appendix to that book. Granada Television gave permission for this, to allow teachers to make use of the ideas suggested in the teachers’ booklets. The original texts are not repeated here, as some of the children's versions give the flavour of the stories. The illustrations in this chapter have been scanned from the original publication, so unfortunately are not as clear as they might otherwise have been. Most of the originals were in colour.
