Book excerpt: A fun course to get young children ready to learn in English. Themed units - from 'homes' to 'play time' - teach children letters, colours, numbers and more. Each book covers one term and includes three units. Every unit includes a story, from traditional tales such as Goldilocks, to stories in familiar settings like the classroom. Activities (including songs, stickers, games and matching) help children develop speaking, listening and motor skills alongside early comprehension, reading and writing skills. Each unit encourages learners to build vocabulary by relating content to their experiences - the first steps of critical thinking and active learning. Opportunities for differentiation allow learners to progress at their own pace.
