 PREFACE
LEARNING ENGLISH – NURSERY encourages English language learning
through the introduction of the alphabet and recognition of key words,
through real world themes to promote self-awareness and understanding
of our world.

Why is this book useful to preschool children?

Foundation for Literacy Development
The reading and penmanship activities teach young children to recognise,
remember and write the letters of the alphabet.

Enhancing Word Recognition Through Pictures

Vivid and interesting pictures accompanying the text allow children to learn
and recognise words effectively.

Developing Self-awareness
The everyday themes help children to develop real world awareness so that
learning becomes relevant, interesting and practical.

Learning Objectives
The key objectives and focus of the activities are provided at the bottom
of the pages as a guide for parents and teachers.
