Course components

· PUPIL'S BOOK WITH CD-ROM

Eight thematic units follow, and include presentation and practice of the new lexical sets of vocabulary and language structures. Vocabulary builds throughout the course; children listen to stories with target language; sing songs and say chants; colour, match, and draw; play games, collaborate, and communicate with partners, in small groups, and with the whole class.

· ACTIVITY BOOK WITH AUDIO CD

The Activity Book provides practice and reinforcement of Pupil’s Book lessons. Children practice developing fine motor skills as they trace, match, and colour theme-related pictures. An Audio CD with songs and chants is included for practice at home.

· TEACHER’S BOOK

The interleaved Teacher’s Edition includes full-size Pupil’s Book pages right beside the teaching lessons. A two-page Unit Overview with each unit’s content and objectives also provides bulletin-board ideas, story summaries, and home-school and curriculum connections.

· CLASS CD

Class Audio CDs contain all of the level’s songs, chants, stories, and listening comprehension activities.

· POSTERS

Three colourful posters motivate children as they set off to learn English. The My Little Island map and Meet Your New Friends! Introduce the main characters.

Forty-eight colourful photographs of the target vocabulary appear on Flashcards for presentation, review, and games.
