journey begins - R M Price-Mohr - Bog

This is the third book in the third series of the weebee reading scheme for beginner readers (Books 17a - 24a). These books are written as an alternative to the mainly phonically-decodable books (Books 17-24). They are intended for children who are more holistic learners, often boys, who either cannot access the blending and segmenting approach or prefer not to. As with Series One, each book introduces twenty new words, including words from the 250 most common words that make up approximately 70% of juvenile reading. Each of these eight books is a chapter story in a series that make up one adventure, in which one of the weebees is lost and the others carry out a search and rescue. The creatures from Series Two return in Series Three and have a chance to show their gratitude to the weebees for the help received. The games and activities found in the Complete Resources Book for Series Three support the learning of the vocabulary for all the books. The game (LexiLudum) is original and unique to this scheme, developed especially for the weebee Reading Scheme and based on Halliday's theory of Systemic Functional Grammar. As with Series One and Two, there are full-page colour illustrations throughout.
