While providing opportunities to expand language skills and vocabulary, and develop reading ability, are the primary aims of this title, and series, there are ample opportunities here to also develop oracy, numeracy, and reasoning skills. Activities conclude with questions specifically aimed at expanding the learning beyond the scope of the activity, this is the discussion question or extended writing that gives the learners the opportunity to reason and develop broader skills.

Filled with engaging activities that draw on interesting and familiar contexts, this book develops the learners’ capacity to find the appropriate, and correct, answers. Variation in theme and context allows the learner to undertake a range of activities that are stimulating as well as educational. Some of the topics covered in 'Ditectif Geiriau 2' include:

• Gwenyn mêl [Honey bee]

• Lliwiau'r enfys [Colours of the rainbow]

• Mr Pryce y postman [Mr Pryce the postman]

The content of this book, and each book in the series has been specifically prepared with flexibility of use in mind. Working through the book in order is one option, but this is not necessary. In addition, while the book is an excellent companion and teaching aid for Welsh lessons, it is also wholly suited to use within the home. You don’t need have to present the full activity at once. You may use the text over a period of time, drawing attention to different features in the text during preparation and then, giving feedback after the learners have completed the task.

Once learners have worked through this title, the 'Ditectif Geiriau' series continues with further titles – volumes, 3 and 4 - that are graded, to provide progression.
