The style of language further reflects progression in the teaching of Arabic grammar, while still using largely familiar vocabulary and simplified concepts.This non-fiction report and explanation focuses on the fascinating business of using scaffolding – from its earliest origins to present-day. Children can find out how scaffolding is used in a variety of ways around the world, and meet a young scaffold-builder.The book includes a comprehensive glossary on pages 30 and 31 to aid comprehension.
