This exciting six-level course is packed with fun activities. Right from the start, children are fully involved in thinking for themselves, doing things themselves, and making things themselves. The topics in the Pupil's Books encourage children to think about the world around them and, at the higher levels, are linked to other subject areas in the school curriculum. This approach makes language learning more meaningful and memorable. Regular revision pages, and 'I can' sections in the Activity Books allow children to evaluate their own progress, giving them a real sense of achievement. The Songs and Stories Audio Cassette/CD can be used in the classroom or at home and is a fun way of providing extra practice. Delightfully illustrated Vocabulary Cards are also available to practise the target language for Starter and level 1. The Starter level, for children in the early stages of literacy, provides a full year of work and focuses on listening and speaking. Level 1, which can also be used by complete beginners, is for children who are ready to deal with all four skills. From level 4 onwards, learners integrate the skills that they have learned through cross-curricular 'Know it all' sections, focusing on areas such as geography, history and science.
