A nightingale is a bird. It is not very big and it sings beautifully. It lives in a forest and sings in the night.
There was once a King of China who lived near a forest. One night, he was sitting by a window. He was reading a book. He heard a nightingale singing in the forest. It was singing beautifully.
“What kind of bird is that?' he said. “I must have it."
Mr. Shah said, 'Children, there is a hole in the roof of our house. I am going to mend it. I am going to work hard! Will you help me, please?
The children said, 'Yes.'
Mr. Shah said, 'Omer will you bring me a ladder, please? Uzma, will you bring me a tin of red paint, please? Maruf, will bring me a hammer, please? Sam, will you go to the shop, please? Will you buy me a packet of nails, please? Now I am going to climb up the ladder. Omer, will you hold the ladder, please? This is hard work, isn't it? I am working hard! I am tired!
“Yes,' said the children. “We are tired, too!'
Gone are the days when a teacher had a maximum of fifteen students in his classroom. With the growing awareness of literacy in our country, teachers can no longer pay individual attention to all the students in his/her over-filled class. Thus, the need arises for workbooks which will help to convey the lessons easily, to each student of the Radiant Way. These workbooks have been prepared carefully so that the teacher no longer has to spend his/her time preparing lessons from the text for the children.
As each page of the workbook matches a lesson in the text, by working on these books, the children will not only be able to understand the text better, but will also learn more basic English e.g. pronunciation, construction of sentences, vocabulary, reading and grammar.
This series of workbooks have been planned with the needs of the child in mind, for his/her progress in learning English, as he/she works along with the series of the Radiant Way.
Thus most of the lessons in the workbook offer three basic activities:
1. Those directly related to the text;
2. Improving the child's basic English;
3. Practical activities for enhancing the children's capacity to think and learn by themselves by helping to create an alert and receptive mind.
