3. TO THE LEARNERS
This book is made especially for you. The
lessons that you will find in this book are very much
related to your life. You will find the activities fun
and enjoyable. Since this is a language book, you
are expected not only to say the words that you will
meet in this book but also use your new learnings in
your everyday life. Just remember to follow your
teacher, say the words, and use whatever you have
learned in school and at home. Have fun!
The Author

4. TO THE TEACHER
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.
