Description

Title:

THE FLITLITS, A Guide for Educators, Linked to Reading Age 8+, Interest Age 7-11, U.K. English Version

(US English Title Also Published)

Introducing a multi award-winning Fun Literacy Series satisfying Reading Age: 8+︱ Interest Age: 7-11.

The scheme follows many years of research, development and pilot work in and out of the school setting.

The cross-curricular content offers a systematic, fun and creative approach to language learning within a literacy-rich curriculum.

The scheme was created in collaboration with experienced educators, parents, carers, librarians and the target audience: the children.

Comprehensive GUIDES for EDUCATORS that supports the Flitlit package facilitate mainstream and homeschooling; and blended learning.

The Flitlit concept encourages the learning of the language of text, storytelling and the identification and synthesising of speech, sounds and patterns.

Providers of Education in and out of the classroom environment are invited to identify sections of the guides that relate most closely to the courses that they teach, and that may be adapted to the specific context of their programmes.

The content may be adapted as needed within courses that are specific or infused into other courses within the context of a curriculum.

The Flitlit concept grew from a series of bilingual stories written in a humorous, lyrical format.

The content bridges the divide between picture books and early chapter novels, with mature page by page illustrations providing opportunities for juxtaposition exercises, while satisfying visual learning︱ literacy.

The concept offers bespoke opportunities relating to choices that satisfy a range of needs and abilities within classrooms, homes and libraries. The scheme is committed to the advancement of literacy and numeracy skills and to assisting pupils in becoming more creative and capable of developing innovative solutions to problems.

It enhances pupils’ analytical and critical capacities and their ability to synthesise ideas and adapt to new situations.

Enhanced skills and attributes help them to succeed in a wide range of tasks and responsibilities and to contribute to the society in which they live.

The ethereal setting of Seldom See is a land lost in time. The land is laid out in plots named Fussbut, so named since young learners may fuss but access it only through the power of their imagination.

Current and pending resources contribute to an evolving multi-modal package that assists multi-platform, cross-curricular learning.

The Flitlit concept featured at Gamescom, Cologne, having won a prestigious international competition set by the Frankfurt Book Fair. The concept featured among five international winners, with the Flitlit concept having been chosen as the sole U.K. winning entry. This generated interest in the concept’s extensive potential in terms of educational and edutainment productions.

Stars SOL-FA, SHIFT, AGLOW and GLEE govern the ethos of the concept. They influence the musicality of the characters and language; action, vibrancy and fun.

Pilot Work Feedback/Reviews

School/s Pilot Work Feedback (Credited with all Mandatory Consents):

. "I am truly in awe of Eiry Rees Thomas. These books are classics and foster attention and a love for the written word. They open up discussions on many topics and encourage exploration and off screen play."

. "On first encountering the Flitlit concept, I was overwhelmed. How do you begin to describe this incredible world? It is unlike anything I have experienced before. Each word on the page is placed to make the whole experience so expansive and rich in detail."

."The setting is a magical place that can be visited any time, anywhere and which stays within your imagination forever."

. "It is the lyricism of the prose that knocks you off your feet and lulls you in like a siren's song. The employment of rhythm and rhyme creates a magical syncopation that builds anticipation as the stories are read aloud."

. "The Guide for Educators is truly outstanding and will be an asset in helping children to grab on to that spark of imagination."

. "We are deeply embroiled in 'Flitlit Fever' in the classroom. In fact, it has taken over our lives somewhat! "

"We have read the stories, analysed the language, looked for poetic devices, written reviews, composed Flitlit anthems, designed book covers, written raps, de-constructed characters, examined story lines... and even tried creating new characters and plots!"

"It has been a thoroughly enjoyable time that has truly harnessed the enthusiasm of the children."

. "Eiry Rees Thomas and her Flitlits make learning a joy,"
