Produktbeschreibung
It is with sincere gratitude and warm regard that this title is dedicated to the late illustrator, James Field. James's mastery complements the Flitlit concept/ narrative by means of inspirational artwork that inspires visual thinking. Illustrated picture books allow new readers to analyse stories through visual learning and juxtaposition, thus increasing understanding and comprehension. AGE-APPROPRIATE ILLUSTRATIONS ¿¿¿Research undertaken highlighted a need for materials that address issues associated with an immediate leap from picture books to early chapter novels. Carefully chosen illustrations are desired for certain groups at this intermediate level. This need is especially pertinent to the considerable numbers of young readers identified as visual learners, of whom there may be up to 60% in a classroom. Highly visual books for such groups call for superior illustrations that are age-appropriate and which maximise visual perception. JUXTAPOSITION Placing two elements or texts side by side allows readers to compare and contrast them. This act can show, for example: irony, humour or sadness. Juxtapositions often create a tricky situation or comparison for the reader. They offer good opportunities to explore language choice, intent and character response/s. Challenging readers to explore a juxtaposition requires high level skills to fully explain why this paradox has been created and what tools the author used to create this atmosphere. Reading materials that are interwoven and that lead to a juxtaposition provide many opportunities to discuss various interpretations of a story. Using such texts calls for teachers and home tutors to have a working knowledge of both the written narratives and the images. This knowledge plays a key role in planning engaging and purposeful literacy learning.

Autorenporträt
Eiry Rees Thomas grew up in Wales/U.K. among a creative family embracing a poet, calligrapher/sculptor, illustrators and a cartoonist. The coal-mining community where she spent her formative years was mostly Welsh-speaking, with the English language being introduced to the school curriculum at the age seven level. The musicality of the Welsh language is apparent in the author's unique lyrical voice, described in Welsh as 'telynegol' or harp-like, true to her Celtic roots. Her love of writing bilingually from an early age was given expression following a serious accident. This ended her career as a public health practitioner, peripatetic teacher and medical translator. Her experiences in the field of child development and the privilege of having worked with children and families with additional needs contribute to her work as an author and curriculum content creator.
