There Was an Old Woman

A new approach to flap books to involve and support the developing reader. The story of the old woman in the little white house is full of repeated words and phrases which consistently appear on the outside of little flaps. Under the flap is a picture to illustrate the word(s) above. The clever part is that the pictures change to fit the particular meaning of the context - so we see the 'old woman', the 'marmalade cat', the 'green shed' etc. as appropriate to the meaning of the story at that point. An ingenious way to involve readers with books and to illustrate what happens when we read.
