Green Series
Content Columns
The Green Series contains two separate but parallel sets – 10 Illustrated Stories and 10 Photo Stories.
The Illustrated Stories are painted with vivid colours, and the stories revolve around animals and young characters. The Photo Stories are created with engaging photographs. The stories have more of a narrative structure, describing what the characters are doing and experiencing. The Photo Stories start at a slightly higher level than the Illustrated Stories (Book 1 of the Photo Stories aligns with Book 4 of the Illustrated Stories).
- Consonant Clusters in Initial and Final Position
- Consonant Digraphs <sh>, <th>, <ch>, and <qu>
