Meet Abi and Kumo!
Your Child's Reading Companions
Join Abi and Kumo on their adventures!
This beloved duo helps children navigate the world of reading, focusing on essential sight words and comprehension skills. Each book is crafted to encourage young readers to not just recognise words but to understand what they are reading too.
The ABI and KUMO books are specifically designed to:
-
Teach Essential Words: Each book focuses on sight words and other key vocabulary that children need to master as they begin their reading journey. These words are grouped together at the end of each book, making it easy for both teachers and students to review and reinforce learning.
-
Promote Reading with Meaning: Beyond just recognizing words, the Abi and Kumo series emphasizes comprehension, ensuring that children not only read but understand what they’re reading.
-
Celebrate Cultural Diversity: The stories are culturally diverse, allowing children to see themselves and others in the characters they read about, which fosters a love for reading and a greater connection to the material.
