Description
The Queen’s Primer book has been a staple in Nigerian nursery schools for as long as I can remember. Every time I got home after school, I always did my best to avoid getting it rumpled, keeping the edges fine and neat. It served a purpose for me, you, and everyone: to teach the foundations of the English language to young students in a very special way, by having every student read along with the teacher(s).
With the staccato of our voices ringing down the hallway, everyone knew Nursery Two was at it again. This was the same for every language class; we were engaged because we understood the language of the place, and our curiosity towards learning more was piqued, to say the least.
As we grow older, more significance is placed on our abilities to read and understand subjects by ourselves, and being able to process and answer questions when they are asked. What a wonderful way of ensuring success, one might say.
