The Runaway Son (Read with Me)

Read with Me is a series of reading books designed to develop the confidence of young children between the ages of 5 and 7. Using well-known Bible stories, the entertaining texts complement the child's more formal learning. Current developments in reading, writing and speaking guide the text and are behind the range of activities at the end of each book. Many of the stories are told in rhyme, and others have rhythmic, rhyming sections. In each book certain phrases are repeated to encourage the less confident reader. The text is positioned on pale colors to help dyslexic readers. The newly commissioned child-friendly illustrations complement the text, reinforcing the humor found in it. At the end of each book a range of activities encourages the child to think about what they have read, retell it in their own words, and talk about it.
