Support and development for the whole child. Family and Friends has a very clear
methodology with objectives for every lesson and carefully staged activities to support your
pupils' learning. Every unit opens with a clear vocabulary and grammar presentation to
introduce new language. The challenging syllabus encourages children to achieve more. Skills
Time! lessons provide a strong structured skills programme so listening speaking and literacy
skills are continually improving. New and updated content for 2nd Edition means learners will
engage even more with the topics. New differentiated writing portfolios in the Teacher's
Assessment and Resources help with mixed-ability classes and mean you can keep a record of your
learners' writing achievements. Phonics is straightforward and fun! Children learn to
recognize and produce the sounds of English the letters that form them and the words that
contain them. This means each sound is taught in a way that's easy to understand. The
progression is specially written for non-native speakers and is particularly well structured
for children who do not use the Roman alphabet. New optional culture sections at the back of
the book offer even more variety with opportunities for learners to compare their own life with
those of English-speaking children of the same age. They cover topics such as family wildlife
and school which are all familiar subjects so learners will have something to relate to and
talk about. Do you need help preparing for tests? There are print-ready and customizable
course tests so you can create tests to practise a particular language point or to suit mixed
ability classes. There is new additional preparation and practice material for Cambridge
English (YLE) and Trinity exams. But it's not only about academic success - Family and
Friends develops the whole child too. The values syllabus found in the songs and stories
helps children develop social and emotional skills which guarantee success in the classroom and
at home.
