A Classroom at Home 1a (Oxford)

Description

A Classroom at Home 1a is a thoughtfully constructed Grade 1 reader from the Let Us Read series by Oxford University Press East Africa. It supports early reading confidence and provides young learners with an opportunity to practise foundational language skills in a relatable and meaningful context. The story speaks directly to children who miss the structure and interaction of school, offering comfort and learning through a home-based scenario.

In this story, schools have been closed for a long time, and Baraka, Imani, and Shujaa feel the void of not going to school every day. They decide to transform part of their home into a makeshift classroom so they can continue learning together. The children search for a suitable space, negotiate roles, and eagerly set up a place where they can read, write, and learn. Their effort highlights themes of resourcefulness, family cooperation, and the joy of learning even when circumstances are difficult.
