Printed by:Preface A child is a great wonder, There is no end to the thinking about his/her world of wonder. A child is a subject of contemplation for educationists, scientists, philosophers, child specialists and psychologists. The fundamental principles of children education outlined in the National Education Policy 2010 have been defined in the light of these contemplations, The curriculum for primary education has been revised to develop a child on the potentials of his/her innate amazement, unbounded curiosity, endless joy and enthusiasm keeping in view the all-round development of children’s potentials. The “English for Today’ textbooks have been developed to help students attain competencies in all four language skills in English through meaningful and enjoyable activities. Emphasis has been given to listening and speaking skills as the foundation on which to develop reading and writing skills.Topics and themes havebeen selected in a way that would not only help students address the needs of real-life situations but would also inculcate human values in them as well as broaden their mental horizon. Grammar points and planned activities to develop student’s competence in all four language skills have been presented within contexts in a systematic and graded way. To make the young learners interested, enthusiastic and dedicated, Bangladesh Awami League Government under the dynamic leadership of the Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has taken initiatives to change the textbooks into four colors, and make them interesting, sustainable and distributed free of cost since 2009. The textbook of all students of Pre-primary, Primary, Secondary, Ibtedaie, Dakhil, Dakhil Vocational and $.S.C Vocational level are being distributed free of cost across the country which is a historical initiative of the present government. My sincere acknowledgement and thanks to all who had helped in different stages of composition, edition, rational evaluation, printing and publication of the textbook. Though all cares have been taken by those concerned, the book may contain some errors/lapses. Therefore, any constructive and rational suggestions will be highly appreciated for further improvement and enrichment of the book. We will deem all our efforts successful if the young learners for whom it is intended find it useful to them.
