THE FLITLITS, A Guide for Educators, Linked to Reading Age 8+, Interest Age 7-11, U.K. English Version: Read, Laugh and Learn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916778009)

Introducing an award-winning 'Read, Laugh and Learn' fun literacy package that satisfies Reading Age 8+ Interest Age 7-11.

The concept follows many years of research, development and pilot work in and out of the school setting.

The cross-curricular content offers a systematic, fun and creative approach to language learning within a literacy-rich curriculum.

The concept was created in collaboration with experienced educators, parents, carers, librarians and the target audience: the children.

Comprehensive GUIDES for EDUCATORS that support the Flitlit package facilitate mainstream and homeschooling; and blended learning.

The Flitlit concept encourages the learning of the language of text, storytelling and the identification and synthesising of speech, sounds and patterns.

Providers of Education in and out of the classroom environment are invited to identify sections of the guides that relate most closely to the courses that they teach, and that may be adapted to the specific context of their programmes.

The Flitlit concept grew from a series of bilingual stories written in a humorous, lyrical format.

The Flitlit set of books bridge the divide between picture books and early chapter novels, with mature page by page illustrations providing opportunities for juxtaposition exercises, while satisfying visual learning/ literacy.

The package offers bespoke opportunities relating to choices that satisfy a range of needs and abilities within classrooms, homes and libraries.

The scheme is committed to the advancement of literacy skills and to assisting pupils in becoming more creative and capable of developing innovative solutions to problems.

It enhances pupils' analytical and critical capacities and their ability to synthesise ideas and adapt to new situations.

Enhanced skills and attributes help them to succeed in a wide range of tasks and responsibilities and to contribute to the society in which they live.

The ethereal setting of Seldom See is a land lost in time. The land is laid out in plots named Fussbut, so named since young learners may fuss but access it only through the power of their imagination.

The Flitlit concept featured at Gamescom, Cologne, having won a prestigious international competition set by the Frankfurt Book Fair. Among five international winners, the Flitlit concept featured as the sole U.K. winning entry. This generated interest in the concept's extensive potential in terms of educational and edutainment productions.

Stars SOL-FA, SHIFT, AGLOW and GLEE govern the ethos of the concept. They influence the musicality of the characters and language; action, vibrancy and fun.
