Themes based on familiar environments allow students to apply new vocabulary right away at school, at home, with their family, or in the community!
And with a teacher's resource book that provides a clear instructional path, it's easy to combine the computer program and print components into one easy-to-use resource for English language development!
Program Components:
Audio and visual components of the computer and print resources incorporate the four language domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing to maximize students' language learning opportunities and to help them make connections between the picture, the spoken word, and the written word.
Interactive CD-ROM:
- 2 e-posters allow students to work independently or in pairs while they scroll over and click on images to hear words spoken aloud and used in a sentence.
- A read-along story engages students with a fun story that uses repetitive language patterns and vocabulary. Students can listen to the narrator as each word is highlighted in the on-screen text.
- Interactive games create opportunities for students to play and learn at the same time! Students feel a sense of accomplishment as they "win" and complete each game.
- Chants and a song help students memorize new vocabulary through fun rhythms and rhymes.
- 10 pages of assessment record forms help you track and record student progress.
- Includes a license for 5 workstations that are Mac/PC compatible.
Student Book (5-pack):

- A picture dictionary provides students with a word list to keep track of their ever-growing vocabulary! Each entry includes the written word, an illustration, and a line to write on.
- A computer checklist motivates students to finish each task as they keep track of which games and activities they've completed.
- Activity pages provide extra practice for homework or formative assessment.
- A story, chants, and songs in print form offer students an alternative to what appears on the CD-ROM for practice anywhere!
