Rainbow Grade R BIG Book 2resized

These Reception year (Grade R) Rainbow Big Books form part of
the Department of Basic Education’s strategy to boost SouthAfrican

children’s school performance.
They are developed to supplement the Rainbow workbooks and
posters provided to schools with the aim of helping children to develop
the pre-literacy skills and the fantasy that goes along with reading.
The Grade R CAPS requires that Grade R learners are given the
opportunity to develop their pre-reading, pre-writing and
pre-mathematical skills, and outlines the skills they will need to get
Mrs Angie Motshekga, a solid educational foundation so that they find it easier to learn in
Minister of Basic Education Grade 1 and beyond.
Before children formally learn to read they need to learn how to hold a
book and turn its pages, and to understand how books work.
They need to understand the relationship between the pictures in the
book and the words on the page (or the stories told by the teacher).
They need to understand that stories are made up of words, which are
made up of sounds that have meaning. This big book will be useful for
developing these pre-literacy skills.
While the big books were developed as “wordless books”, except for
the headings and teacher’s notes which are in English, the books are
developed for use across Grade R classrooms irrespective of language.
The wordless stories rely on the imagination and the ability of teachers

Teacher’s Notes:
ENGLISH
In this book, we have included guidance on how to use this “wordless” book in Grade R classes. Please note that although this guidance
is written in English, this book can be used in Grade R classes across all languages. The notes included in the book, and also in the
lesson plans provided as part of the Grade R resource pack, will help teachers to develop stories around the pictures.
This will enable teachers to tell stories in the language of the learners and to follow the steps of the reading process as outlined below.
