I Can Help Levels 1-2

In I Can Help, young learners discover how they can assist others in everyday situations at home and in their community. This early reader builds on themes from Discovering My World (pages 14-15), focusing on cooperation and empathy through photographs and simple narrative structure. Designed to promote prosocial behaviour, the book also introduces initial consonant blends like œbr- and œfr- and repetitive sentence patterns that support early decoding. The change in sentence structure on page 8 encourages flexibility in understanding simple sentence variety. Vocabulary includes everyday words like œmum and œdad, helping students connect the text to their personal experiences. Through the exploration of helping actions, students develop social awareness alongside literacy skills. This is a purposeful resource that supports classroom conversations around kindness, responsibility, and participation, while reinforcing phonics skills in a relatable context.
