- Onwords and Upwords Introductory is designed for use by children in Senior Infants as they continue to develop phonemic awareness and motor skills.
- The children are encouraged to focus on a sound and then to explore that sound in the activities that follow. These activities are also structured to hone reasoning and handwriting skills.
- Story contexts in the book are based on the childïs own experiences as is the case with subsequent story-telling activities.
