Nozincwadi! - TV Personality - Gcina Mhlophe and
Nomabali - "Makhulu" - Sindiwe Magona

Through the eyes and voices of children, these enthralling stories are told for South Africa's children... they are about their own everyday experiences... and they are about magical happenings in that dreamlike, dream-filled world of childhood. When adults appear at all, they do so in the service of these "little characters", who are the main people for this wonderful series.
Your learners will "fight" to get their hands on these books, meant to be enjoyed while "infecting" them with the reading bug! The titles are graded to accommodate slow, intermediate and independent readers. Help them grow with this series - steeped in the tradition of African story-telling while taking up themes that embrace rural and urban living.
The learners will see themselves in these stories. The stories validate their lives and give credence to their experiences. Imagine the sheer joy of reading about someone just like you... someone doing something you could have done (or have done!) Watch their reading speed increase, their vocabulary grow, and their writing become eager.
The series is available in IsiXhosa, IsiZulu, Sesotho, Setswana and Sepedi. The Teacher's Guides will guide, support and assist educators on how to use this series in the teaching of reading.
