Key features

supported by flashcards, and by more activities on the Student MultiROM.
- The civic education syllabus educates children in good values and behaviour. The Photocopy Masters Books at levels 1-2
include 15 values worksheets.
- The Testing and Evaluation Book and the test builder element of the Teacher's Resource CD-ROM help teachers to evaluate
children's progress.
- One lesson per page with clear lesson objectives makes the course easy to teach.
- Accompanying resources, including the Grammar Friends series, skills series, Teacher's Resource Pack, course readers, and
Teacher Resource CD-ROM allow teachers to focus on additional skills training and means the course can fit different
teaching programmes per week.
