About Lesson 1 - Cartoons
Lesson 1 has 24 interesting and varied activities that use simple words containing the first vowel: a - A
On this page are links to 2 of these 24 activities. They are interactive
pages with illustrations and short simple sentences using single syllable
words. Clicking on a sentence will play a reading of that sentence in a
clear, well annunciated voice.
To aid the student, there are easily understood colour coded pronunciation
hints and limited phonetic marks over the words.
To help understand the pronunciation hints and marks used in Now Read This, have a look at the activities presented in the Preliminary Lesson. Click here to see these online.
These activities can be used on a single computer, or projected in a large room as a whole class activity. They are particularly impressive and compelling when used on an interactive whiteboard.
These two activities are stand-alone activities taken from the much larger Now Read This interactive program.
There are buttons on the bottom edge of the cartoon pages, and in the top right hand corner. In the complete Now Read This interactive program, these buttons link to other activities containing more detailed infomation. These are the next step in reading complexity. When using this program, it is possible to make many quick references. After examining the linked pages, the user simply jumps back to the original cartoon page.
The links on the buttons have been disabled in these stand-alone sample activities.
