First Words Non-fiction is a collection of engaging books for very new readers. These books contain carefully controlled vocabulary and focus on familiar experiences. At Stage 2 each book consists of simple sentence constructions and one to two lines of text per page. Furthermore, each page provides colourful picture cues in the form of photographs and illustrations to help the reader decode the text. At Stage 2 we learn how different cultures celebrate in Festivals; we find out how to look after our animals in My Pet; and we discover how to become successful sportsmen and sportswomen in What Do You Want to Be? In Emergency! we encounter people who can help in an emergency; we discover how to build a primary school in The Building Site; and how to make a stunning hat in How to Make a Party Hat.
