Dear Readers

The books in this series were developed by teachers with a lot of international
teaching experience in Elementary, Junior and Senior High Schools. Their field
of expertise is English Language Teaching.

This course consists of three levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.

A. Beginner Level: 203, 204, 205.
Materials: Phonics Books, Workbooks, Story Books.

The Phonics Books enable readers to spell, read and write, based on their
basic levels of listening and speaking skills. The Workbooks and Story Books
are used in conjunction with the Phonics Books to develop the readers’
listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. After completing each Unit,
readers are tested to determine their learning progress. If successful, they
advance to the next level.
B. Intermediate Level: 206, 207, 208.
Materials: Textbooks, Homework Books, Story Books.

The Intermediate Books guide readers into the higher levels of grammar,
comprehension and essay writing. Grammar structures are set out logically
and easily with a lot of writing practice to improve the readers’ understanding
and use of English. Readers are encouraged through writing exercises to
write essays based on their own experiences. Story Books provide reading,
comprehension and grammar practice. After completing each Textbook,
readers are tested to determine their learning progress. If successful, they
advance to the next level.

Interacting with the lesson materials will build readers’ confidence and
enhance their ability to use newly acquired English Language Skills. The
format of the Intermediate and Advanced Level books will help students to
prepare for their Junior School, High School and GEPT exams.
