A delightful three-level pre-school course based on songs and stories. The full-colour Teacher's Books contain step-by-step lesson plans and useful classroom management techniques. There are also plenty of ideas for extra activities which offer the teacher flexibility and choice.
A delightful three-level pre-school course based on songs and stories. The Pupil's Book has stories in each unit which are designed to encourage positive attitudes in children such as helping others and sharing. At the end of each unit children have the opportunity to make a simple 'storybook' which they can take home with them. This takes English outside the classroom, making the language more meaningful, and enables parents to be involved in the learning process.
