Meet Muhammad..
Muhammad is an intelligent and inquisitive 6 year old with a hunger to learn about everything and anything!
Whilst most children his age are ‘learning to read’ he prefers ‘reading to learn’. This energy was somehow frustrating for a young boy having limited access to age-appropriate literature-based recreational reading resources. Muhammad struggled to find books in the many topics which interested him, similar to the books in his father’s library collection yet in a more child-friendly layout.
The majority of reading books in mainstream education are level-based readers which are typically structured, repetitive, limited in vocabulary, ‘level appropriate’ books. The combination of text and irrelevant topics, as he perceives it, is boring and demotivating. He was very quickly beginning to loose interest in reading..
Muhammad Today..
The Horse Book Series helps Muhammad tune-in through pleasure reading, focussed discussion and enquiry-based learning, creating a more meaningful and rational educational experience. This experience has motivated him to attempt even more challenging books!
Through the interest-driven, objective-based fun exercises, Muhammad’s educators can easily build on the learning and expand the topics as needed.
Integrated Learning and Family Engagement is his favorite educational resource for reinforcing taught concepts, and introduction of new concepts.
