Level IV Books 19 - 24
Level V Books 25 - 30
Level VI Books 31 - 34
The coordinated instructional packages for Books 1-30 consist of
the fotlowing:
1. Instructor Text
2. Student Text
3. Audiotapes
4, Instructor Language Laboratory Activities Booklet

In most countries, people use meters, centimeters, and
millimeters to talk about size. In the U.S. people usually
describe size in inches, feet, and yards.
We also use these six words to talk about a short distance
between one thing and another. To describe longer distances,
people in most countries use kilometers. People in the U.S. use
miles when they talk about how far it is from one place to another.
