Reading Ventures is a well-graded series of eight literature readers designed to be used in Classes 1 to 8. The series presents an engaging and balanced mix of literary genres—short stories, poems, plays and prose writings—all pieces age-appropriate, intellectually compatible and among the best available around the world. They will satisfy all kinds of taste buds, for they encompass humour, fantasy, suspense, adventure, heroism, pathos and much more. The thoroughly revised series presents a representative selection of international literature, including the works of celebrated Indian writers, both classical and contemporary. Great care has been taken to select pieces relevant to a child’s sensibility. These pieces will make the child aware of important socio-cultural and environmental issues. Nowhere overtly didactic, they are thought-provoking and will help the child cultivate right values through classroom discussion. In particular, they will help the child develop a positive outlook on life. Other Important Features • Phonics and Spelling. Books 1 and 2 contain drills that aid pronunciation and spelling. • Key Words and Glossaries. Word lists in Books 1 and 2 contain key words used in the lessons. Books 3 to 8 have exhaustive glossaries. • Comprehension. Comprehension questions include objective-type questions, short-answer questions and long-answer questions. They test factual, inferential as well as evaluative comprehension. • Vocabulary Enrichment. Vocabulary enrichment exercises, apart from teaching the meanings words have in context, explore their other possibilities also. They will develop the vocabulary base of the children, so necessary for developing an exquisite expression. They will both enrich and exhilarate. • Appreciating the Poem. These exercises are designed to enhance the child’s aesthetic sensibility, the child’s ability to appreciate the finer points of a poem. • Discussion and Creative Writing. These tasks are suitable for pair work, group work and class discussion, where both linguistic and paralinguistic elements can be taken care of. The discussion forms the basis for writing tasks, powerpoint presentations and project work. • Teacher’s Manuals are available.
