The Author

TO THE LEARNERS

This book was written to teach children how to communicate. The activities and exercises in this book are easy and at the same time challenging. Since this is a language book, you are expected to make sure that after each lesson, the children are expected to use whatever new concept they have learned in their daily conversation in class and with their classmates.

The main goal of this book is to enhance the communication skills of pupils in English. In this regard, two important skills are being developed in this book—listening and speaking skills. Since the children are still at the stage wherein they could not read or some are beginning to read, your role is to help them identify and understand the pictures and words. Thus, explaining concepts or grammar rules should be done in a simple way. More importantly, activities should be experiential. Let the children learn in context. Let the children have fun. Let the children talk.
