READ WITH ME: First Words

Using a controlled vocabulary in a series of graded steps, reading schemes offer a structured approach to teach a beginner reader. The Ladybird Read with me reading scheme adopts the look-day method, introducing learners to the 300 most frequently used words in the English language (Key Words). Pronunciation and meaning are learned through gradual introduction and careful repetition. Key Words are always carried over to the next book in the series.
