This chapter explores how Minimal English can be used in early reading materials, using the text “GOD IS GOOD” by Anna Wierzbicka as an example. Current research emphasizes the importance of a child’s oral vocabulary for reading fluency, which can then be extended to using a child’s oral vocabulary for a text that will make it easier for children to read, even if the content is complex. The vocabulary in Minimal English has an ideal crossover with a child’s oral vocabulary and so can be used to write texts aimed for beginner readers. Using a new formula to evaluate lexical quality, this chapter shows how the text of “GOD IS GOOD” can still be considered easy for beginner readers, even though it deals with meaningful topics about the Christian faith. Anna's experience with her grandsons revealed that the meaningful content of “GOD IS GOOD” maintained their interest and motivation, despite the sentences being more challenging. This suggests that integrating thought-provoking material with a Minimal English vocabulary list can stimulate children’s curiosity and enhance their reading skills.
