Each book focuses on one of seven common verbs, is illustrated, has a glossary and is suitable for ages 9+. If you teach through story and the Theory of Comprehensible Input guides your work, this series is meant for you. If you wish to learn a language with research-proven methods, this series is meant for you.
This purchase automatically includes the student version of this audio and e-book, which includes the reading and printable, post-reading activities. For teachers, the book and Communication guide come separately because the Communication Guide includes answer keys and all classroom activities, which teachers will want to reveal one step at a time. For example, the Entitle it! activity is best if the students have never seen the cover of the book.
