On this page you will find the Department of Basic Education’s Rainbow Big Book for Grade R, Term 1, titled “A Big Book of Little Stories.” It contains seven wordless picture stories covering themes like All About Me, We Have Fun, Cleanliness, Safety at Home, Jabu’s Schoolbag, Families and Their Pets, and No Dogs Allowed. Teacher notes explain how to use the picture-only stories to guide discussion in any home language, even though the guidance text is printed in English. Each story includes prompting questions to encourage learners to talk about the pictures and build oral vocabulary. This wordless picture resource helps Grade R learners develop oral language, comprehension, and storytelling skills through guided classroom discussion.
