Early Readers Series

This series of early readers provides young children with an engaging and accessible set of picture-texts to learn how to attend to the printed word when reading. It helps children expand their vocabulary and develop reading skills.

“Helping Children with Developmental Needs Have a Better Tomorrow…The focus is the preschool child with developmental, learning and behavioural problems. Much emphasis is also given to family-centred care through support for parents and caregivers, who are critical partners for intervention.”
