Children with no reading skills are able to read brand logos, packers, and

various items of interest. They can be introduced to reading and writing in

English by beginning with these items of personal interests and by using the
words that are the most motivating for children: names of family members and
friends, animals, toys, food, etc., in other words, by utilizing the intuition they
have developed to successfully develop literacy in a new language.

RAINBOW LET TERS AND NUMBERS is a method that brings

children to an understanding of letters, words, phrases, and simple sentences
in English, while taking into account that reading and writing only make sense
within the context of a social practice that is directed toward achieving
communicative competence.
This book presents the letters and numbers through various recognition,
matching, comparison, and introduction to reading activities in English. From
the very beginning, all of these activities seek to promote comprehensive
understanding of the reading texts and to gradually guide children toward
reading more complex texts in English.
There are also tracing, practice, and review pages for writing letters, words, and
simple sentences in English, which help familiarize children with the features of
the letters and apply them in their writing.
The element of comprehension of listening within context is added to help
build word recognition and learn vocabulary.
All these elements are an invitation for children to have fun with the experience
of learning to read and write in English and to enjoy their newly acquired skills,
thus enriching their lives with the vocabulary of a foreign language.
