Collins Big Cat Arabic Around the World: Level 7 [Paperback]

Collins Arabic Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 3 to 11. The series is structured with reference to the learning progression of Arabic at nursery and primary schools researched especially for Collins. This carefully graded approach allows children to build up their reading knowledge of Arabic step by step. Level 7 books include story lines with more episodes in time sequence, and may include imaginary happenings in the context of familiar experiences. There is still repetition, but more variation in pattern and more new words are introduced than in lower levels. Nonfiction titles bring in simple nonfiction tools, such as diagrams, labels, and captions. Additional vowel marks that encourage the flow of pronunciation are introduced at this level. Verbal sentences of up to 8-10 words with repeating and accessible actions appear at this level. Double spacing is used between words to ensure children see where each new word in a sentence begins and ends. This imaginative journey around the world, based on material by the poet James Carter, recounts a journey to some exotic and far-flung locations. Anne Wilson's beautiful collage-style artwork captures the atmosphere of India, China, and Africa. This book is the perfect springboard for discussion of travel, transport, other countries, and cultures.
