“In the garden beneath the birch, spring blossoms and the birds compete in flying and acrobatic competitions. Pitti the robin looks at them from his nest and is sad. He too would like some friends to play with”.
What will Pitti do? Will he leave the nest to go in search of some friends? And who will he meet?
It will be the reader him/herself to discover what happens next, reading this short story autonomously, thanks to the alphabet strip which is incorporated in the book.
First leaps in reading – FOR CREATING PASSIONATE YOUNG READERS
A new series intended to bring children ages three and up closer to reading because the pleasure of reading is experienced, even independently, with the utmost spontaneity, based on the student’s readiness, curiosity and rhythm.
Combining the hook letters, the child will discover that he/she can read his/her first words with great ease, and then apply the same mechanism to normal letters.
The Alphabet
The alphabet strip, attached to each volume, presents the entire alphabet at once, including digraphs and trigraphs, providing an overview from above so children do not get lost while reading. The strip, which can be kept open above the book for children to consult as necessary, contains hook images, difficult spellings, and shows capital and lowercase letters right away to support children as they learn to read.
The web app Analogical keyboard
In addition to the paper strip, the book allows access to the analogical keyboard for tablets and computers. Each child will thus be able to experience a personal journey of reading discovery by typing short words directly on the keys.
In each volume you can find:

THE AUTHOR
Camillo Bortolato is a pedagogist and teacher with over 40 years experience in primary schools. In addition to teaching, he has for many years been intensely involved in research on methodologies and teaching tools for mathematics. He is particularly interested in designing tools which make teaching easier and school less heavy going for teachers, pupils and parents. He believes that we will all learn to “understand at a glance” when school learning becomes like learning about life, which is all about love, passion and hard work. With Erickson he has made several tools and published a number of books on how to apply the analogical method, which plays on the innate intuition of children in order to turn the learning process into a spontaneous one.
