We all know that kindergarten is such a key year - it shapes children's attitudes to learning and English for years to come. You are also teaching something incredibly important - reading.
First Friends is here to help. The phonics progression is very important, and has been designed especially for children who do not use the Roman alphabet. The pacing and order of the letters has all been carefully researched.
The handy alphabet, at the top of every phonics page, highlights the letter you're studying so learners can see their progress, and all the letters are taught in upper and lower case.
But that's not all - the catchy phonics chants, colourful alphabet poster and interactive digital material make your lessons even more motivating and fun, ensuring happy learners.
Parents will also appreciate the Audio CD with songs, chants, and stories to practise at home.
So, with a reliable structure, rich resources, and a successful methodology, First Friends is the ideal course for you. Try it, and you'll soon see why it's first for English and first for fun!
