The activities in the New All-In-One Learn to Read and Write Grade 1 Home Language Workbook will ensure language and writing success!

The reading lessons are graded and sounds are presented step by step, keeping the eye span, sight word vocabulary and sentence structure that a Grade 1 learner should know in mind. The reading lessons are followed by applicable language exercises. The learner also cuts out an "Own reader" to practise sounds and spelling.

The new sounds learnt are practised on handwriting strips, developing learners’ pencil grip and handwriting skills. Sounds are practised through handwriting - the learner is encouraged to draw patterns (which resemble the sounds) and write sentences.

The handwriting exercises are in the correct font and line spacing - in print writing (e.g. round/slanted letters) - so that the learner learns to write correctly.

Handwriting and language exercises are presented in the order that learners will learn them in class according to CAPS.
