Building understanding and literacy in English
This series is designed to teach and illustrate the multiple meanings of basic English words using clear, specific visuals.
- Each booklet teaches one meaning of a simple word
- Booklets are arranged in a precise learning sequence
- learners, parents, and even teachers — from 1st grade to adulthood!
The secret is in the illustration
Words like airport or airplane are easy — they each have one basic meaning.
But the word in has 12 common meanings!
- Without clear illustrations, children and adults are left confused.
- Ollie the Elephant uses visuals to clarify each unique usage in context.
