Old Tevita had some land
Written in a very simple manner designed for young readers, the story tells of life on a Fijian farm. Old Tevita has many local crops and animals, all very familiar to Fijian children. The illustrations are lively and colourful, telling the story with the words.
This and other books are written to fill the gap for Early Childhood Education where presently there are no texts. In Fiji children don’t formerly learn to read until Grade 1 until sight word books came about, that is. Sight words are revolutionary! There is no need for phonetics; no need for pictures. Simply ‘look and say’. It’s that simple. Your child will be reading in no time. All sight words in the text are in green with a list of 100 at the back of the book. On average the text in the story contains 72 percent of sight words-at least more than half the words on a page.
Suitable for children 3 -6 years.
