Onwords and Upwords 1 provides the child with a comprehensive experience of phonological awareness.

The book contains a selection of illustrated, original stories. There is a particular focus on having the child study the illustration to help develop an understanding of the story.

Individual letter recognition, formation and sound are reinforced through the activity material throughout the book.

Metacognition, comprehension, and opportunities for expression, both oral and written, are consistent features at all levels of the series.
