Marvin’s Market Adventure and Grandma’s Special Birthday Picnic

Send reading resources with Marvin’s Adventure resources

Access to the literate environment and exposure to incidental learning opportunities don’t occur naturally for a child with vision impairment or special educational needs. Building a solid foundation of reading readiness skills and fun experiences is therefore critical.

‘Marvin’s Market Adventure and Grandma’s Special Birthday Picnic’ is both a story and an educational resource pack. It offers a holistic approach to reading readiness skills and emergent literacy development. Embracing rich concrete experiences involving objects, people and activities related to the concept of the Market Place.

Using a theme-based approach during the emergent stages of literacy development enables us to offer a multitude of rich learning opportunities. The suggested activities in this resource support the key elements of emergent literacy. Tactile discrimination, fine motor, book/story skills and language development.

Read the lovely story of Marvin on his adventure at the market place and at the same time maximise the learning opportunities using this holistic, fun and creative approach to literacy.

What people are saying about Send reading resources with Marvin’s Adventure resources

“Marvin was a kind a little boy and he loved to visit his Grandma and help her to look after her beautiful garden. One day he decided he would surprise her as it was her birthday and he want to make her a special picnic. He wrote his list of all the things he would need for the picnic and set off to the market to make his purchases. A beautiful flower for her garden, a little shiny fish for her pond… little did he know that he was in for a surprise ! Marvin meets Little Shiny Fish and Sunny Sunflower who are MAGIC! Plus he helps Veg Man Vernon and Fishman Phil and meets Flora Flower and Barbara Baker the lovely cake maker along the way.”
