All children have

a great ambition to read

to themselves...

and a sense of achievement when they can do so.

The read it yourself series has been devised to

satisfy their ambition. since many children learn

from the ladybird key words reading scheme,

these stories have been based to a large extent

on the key words list, and the tales chosen are

those with which children are likely to be familiar.

The series can of course be used as

supplementary reading for any reading scheme.

Peter and the wolf is intended for children reading.

up to book 3c of the ladybird reading scheme.

The following words are additional to the

vocabulary used at that level-

meadow, but, gate, closed, bird, sings,

opens, duck, she, swim, from, silly, can´t,

fly, argue, cat, near, out, flies, away,

safe, grandfather, takes, wolf, not, may,

of, after, swallows, gulp, goes, round,

a list of other titles at the same level will be
