The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set

Description

We love these books!

• When The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe appeared on the literary scene in 1950, it helped to define the genre of fantasy for children and adolescents and opened the door for authors like J. K. Rowling (the "Harry Potter" series), Gail Carson Levine (Ella Enchanted and The Princess Tales), and Phillip Pullman (His Dark Materials Trilogy).
• The books that followed all took up either the adventures of the five main characters from the first book—Peter, Susan, Edward and Lucy, who became the Kings and Queens of Narnia and the mysterious lion, Aslan, everlasting ruler of all Narnia—or followed events occurring in the "otherworld" of Narnia itself.
• Are the books out of order? Not really. This current compilation arranges the seven books of Narnia in the order C. S. Lewis thought they should be read.

Contains:

• In The Magician′s Nephew (1955), we learn of the origins of Narnia.
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1950)
• The Horse and His Boy (1954)
• Prince Caspian (1951)
• The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
• The Silver Chair (1953) provide further adventures for the main characters and their friends.
• The final book, The Last Battle (1956), chronicles the end of Narnia.

Features and Skills

• Reading with your child is a great way to spend quality time.  Reading is an important activity to foster language skills and help your child learn new information.  Long before a child can speak, an infant is learning the melodies and sounds of language. They are learning to understand words and pair pictures of objects with the name of the object.  In addition to language skills, reading with your child helps improve their attention and builds curiosity.  We want children of all ages to hear ‘adult, complex sentences’ so alternate reading a book as you typically would (reading all the written words) with the tips described below.
• Infants – 2 year olds: point to the pictures and emphasize the name of each picture (one word at a time).  Your intonation and melody plays an important role in your child’s attention to the book at this age.
• 2-3 year olds – read the story as written but ask questions along the way to ensure that your child understands what is happening in the story.  This also allows them to be active “readers”.
• 3-4 year olds – ask your child to tell you about the pictures/predict the story first.  Then read the words on the page. This is a great way to help foster their story-telling abilities.
• 4-5 year olds – at this age children begin to gain interest in the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make.  Point to some of the words as you read to support this interest.  At the end of a book, you and your child can make up a different ending OR try and add to the story.
• 5-6 year olds – Your child will begin to read at this age, generally by memorization of sight words.  Keep a running list of the words that your child successfully recognizes.  They will feel great pride as the list grows longer and longer.

  I read these books as a child so i got them for my niece and nephew to read (they are 10 and 12). My nephew liked them more than my niece but they are classics so I had to get them and we saw all the movies together.

  This is one of the best collections I have purchased at this store. I absolutely love the set and my kids really enjoy reading the books. Every night my kids and I sit down and we all take turns reading parts of the story together. It is a great way to have family bonding. It also comes with a convenient case where I can place the books neatly.

  The perfect gift for my granddaughter. She loves to read and all the books are in one set. I was so glad I could introduce her to this series. I know the power of imagination, and there is nothing better than the Chronicles of Narnia. To me, they are the original adventure series.
