I taught my children to read in Afrikaans using Die Goue Reeks readingbooks, published by Nasou - Viaafrika. Those who do not know it. It is about a brother, sister, mother, father, cat, dog, friends and much more.
These books are wonderful for children who are just starting to read in Afrikaans or who needs some remedial work. With every book the words become more and harder. In the back of the books you will find a 'dictionary'. These are words with pictures. There are also word sound lists and new words that were read in that particular book.
The entire series consist of 26 books and are divided in 8 levels. The first book of each level is full colour and the additional books in that level black and white. It is critical that the additional books should also be read and not just the first book in each level.
In each level there is also a workbook. In the picture below the last block you can see an example of one of the pages (not all pages have pictures) Die principle behind the workbook is to enable the child to recognise words in a visual manner with sentences, match work and word recognition.
The series consist of the following books:

My children love to read from these books. It is easy to follow and well put together. I will recommend these books to anyone, even to those who study Afrikaans as a second language.
You can purchase these books from Galileo Books by sending an e-mail to ronelle@galileobooks.co.za. These books are available separately.
Happy reading and enjoy it.
Blessings
