Aladdin and Ali Baba Yrs K to 3

Shortened and adapted versions of Aladdin’s Lamp and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves are presented for the child to read. At the end of each chapter, there are multiple choice questions to test if the text has been absorbed. These questions are aimed at checking that the general flow of the book is understood. Unlike comprehension passages in other Basic Skills books, there are no specific questions on word meanings.

The answer section is placed in the middle of the book so that it can be removed by a parent.
