Are you looking at the wide range of English language materials and are confused about where to start? This book has been designed, illustrated, written, and tested by a teacher, that's me! Whether you are learning English as a second language or looking for an exciting way to help your child start learning, this book is a great place to start. What makes this series different from the rest? Many series are confusing, and children find them tedious, which limits their learning potential. I have found a way to not only make learning appealing but fun and creative too! First, we begin with some fun introduction work and colors, then we touch upon the numbers 1-20, before seeing all the animals we will learn about in this book. When we get to the vocabulary section, I have a unique approach, which is to introduce, explain, practice, apply, extend, and demonstrate the concepts. This six-part approach allows a wide variety of learners to flourish. Every section includes coloring, drawing, tracing, matching, and reading. At the end of each lesson, is a story for the students to use what they have learned. Finally, at the end of the book, are some complimentary flashcards, readings, and coloring to reinforce what they have learned. If you begin with this book and follow all the books in this series, you will be able to read and write in no time! When it comes to learning, I believe it is the teacher who is able to engage the student, which is the most successful. So what are you waiting for? It is class time, let's have fun!
