Colours and shapes and abc contribute to the child's early understanding of the reading process. Counting teaches him to recognize and understand simple nurnbers. Telling the time helps him to relate the time on a clock face to his everyday life and activities. Big and little deals with words that describe relative sizes and positions, all shown through objects and scenes that will be familiar to the young child. Everyday words helps hirn to enjoy and practise his vocabulary. Verbs will develop his early reading and language skills. In each book, bright, detailed, interesting illustrations combine with a simple and straightforward text to present fundamental cclncepts clearly and comprehensibly. Help your child to link tirnes to landmarks in his day and week. When you talk, use time words such as soon, almost, yesterday, tomorrow. At first, teach the whole hours and progress to half hours when your child understands what half is - cutting up food is a great way to teach this. It is best to start telling the time using the analogue clock fhce. Later, look at other type of clocks and talk about minutes and seconds. tlms bg Lesley Ctorh iltustrated bg Peter Stevenson ,(-{l -\ p' i'\ "' -l r'/ u tetting the A calalogue record forthis book is available fom the British Library Published by Ladybtd Books Ltd 80 Stand London WC2R oBL A P€nguin Company 24681097531 O NDYBIRD BOOKS ITD MMVI UDYBIRD and the device of a Ladybird are tademarks oi Ladybtd Books Lld All fights reseryed. flo pad ofthis publica|on may be reproduced, stored in a retievaj system, or transmited in any lorm or by any means,, electronic, mecbanicai, photocopying, recofding or otheryise, without the prior consent oi lhe copyrighr owner \,>.
