Question 1 [30] 1.1 What books would you choose to support
Foundation Phase learners that are reading on the following
levels? • the frustrational level (3) • the instructional reading level
(3) • the independent reading level (3)
To support Foundation Phase learners at different reading levels (frustrational, instructional, and
independent), it is important to choose books that match their abilities while offering appropriate
challenges and opportunities for success. Here are suggestions for each level:
1. Frustrational Level
Books at the frustrational level are too difficult for the learner to read independently and may
cause frustration due to unfamiliar vocabulary, complex sentence structures, or challenging
themes. At this level, learners need extensive support from a teacher or caregiver to navigate the
text.
Suggested Books:
"The Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter: While the language and sentence
structures can be complex, with teacher support, learners can begin to engage with the
story.
"The Velveteen Rabbit" by Margery Williams: This classic has rich vocabulary that
would challenge Foundation Phase learners, but can be read aloud with adult support to
enhance understanding.
"Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak: The rich, descriptive language and
imaginative themes can challenge learners, requiring adult guidance to understand both
text and underlying themes.
2. Instructional Reading Level
The instructional level is where the learner can read with some support. The text is somewhat
challenging but not overly frustrating, and the child can decode most words with occasional help.
Suggested Books:
"Frog and Toad Are Friends" by Arnold Lobel: This is a slightly challenging book
with accessible text and repeated words, suitable for learners with some teacher guidance.
"Amelia Bedelia" by Peggy Parish: The humor and wordplay can engage learners,
offering challenges that are just beyond their independent level but manageable with
teacher support.
, "Little Bear" by Else Holmelund Minarik: With simple, short chapters and basic
sentence structures, this book is perfect for children who can decode but still need help
with comprehension.
3. Independent Reading Level
At the independent level, learners can read and comprehend text without any help. The
vocabulary and sentence structure are easy enough for them to understand on their own, fostering
confidence and enjoyment in reading.
Suggested Books:
"Elephant and Piggie" series by Mo Willems: These books have simple vocabulary
and repetitive language, allowing learners to read independently while enjoying the
humor and friendship themes.
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin Jr.: This repetitive
and predictable text is ideal for early independent readers to build confidence.
"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle: With repetitive language and familiar
words, this book allows children to read independently while reinforcing counting and
days of the week.
These books align with the different reading levels, offering appropriate challenges and support
for Foundation Phase learners.
1.2 Think about and develop three innovative and creative ideas
to make reading “cool” for learners in the Foundation Phase. (6)

Here are three innovative and creative ideas to make reading “cool” for learners in the
Foundation Phase:
1. Reading Adventure Zones
Create Reading Adventure Zones in the classroom or school library, where each zone
represents a different theme, such as "Space Adventure," "Underwater World," or "Dinosaur
Land." Each zone is decorated to match the theme, and learners can select books related to the
theme they’re most excited about. For example, in the "Space Adventure Zone," learners can
wear astronaut hats and read books about planets and stars. Incorporating costumes, themed
seating, and interactive elements like sound effects or visuals related to the story can make
reading feel like a fun, immersive experience.
Why It Works: The thematic setting taps into children's imaginations and turns reading
into an adventure, making it a fun and engaging activity.
