My World Big Books Set 5 Titles

The My World Big Books set is an outstanding resource for early years classrooms, introducing students to five engaging real-world themes through large-format, visually rich texts. Perfect for shared reading sessions, these big books are designed to expose even the youngest learners to informational text features such as labels, captions, diagrams, and factual language. The set includes five books, each focusing on a key theme from the world around us: animals, transportation, plants, recreation, and community. These themes not only spark curiosity but also serve as a springboard for integrated learning across science, social studies, and literacy. The My World series supports progressive learning by encouraging students to explore broad topics through big books and then deepen their understanding using corresponding levelled readers (sold separately). The large format of the books makes them ideal for group engagement on the mat or during teacher-led discussions, while the clear, real-life imagery enhances understanding and retention of facts. These books promote early research skills and build confidence in navigating non-fiction texts, laying a strong foundation for future literacy and inquiry-based learning.
