"108 reproducible Mini-Books to help teach children 54 basic concept pairs. These mini-books present the concepts, one at a time, using several different scenes. Children learn the concept in the first few scenes and then identify the concept within a scene using a foil (unrelated concept). The last scene in the mini-book asks the student to draw, color, or write the concept for extra practice or assessment. Basic Concepts allows a progression from easier to more difficult concepts by dividing the concepts into Level 1 and Level 2." --Publisher's web site.
