Abstract

material is relevant to their contexts, is interesting, and levelappropriate. The first phase of the study was a survey undertaken by READ to ascertain what is available for children in the birth to 9 years age group in order to review the gaps in the market. To this end, READ invited publishers to submit samples of what they have available for this age group, especially materials in South Africa's indigenous languages. The author examines some of the materials for the different age groups, reviews a number of special series of picture-story books, and assesses the quality of their illustrations, including the work of some well known South African children's writers such as Niki Daly and Mari Grobler. She also makes suggestions for ways in which children can create their own materials and concludes with a helpful "Summing it all up" section, as it relates to the needs of different age groups in terms of layout, textual and print features. These are two valuable resources for communities and agencies working to advance adult literacy and `Education for All', and for African publishers developing materials for early childhood education. They will also be of interest to academic and public libraries
