Family and Friends Level 2 Reader A: The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse

An exceptionally strong skills training program which covers language skills, phonics, and civic education skills

One third of each unit is dedicated to skills training. The step by step approach focuses on writing and early literacy skills to build children’s confidence in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English.

One in six lessons is a phonics lesson to train children to recognize and produce English sounds. At levels 1–3 the lessons are supported by flashcards, and by more activities on the Student MultiROM. The civic education syllabus educates children in good values and behavior. The Photocopy Masters Books at levels 1–2 include 15 values worksheets.

The Testing and Evaluation Book and the test builder element of the Teacher’s Resource CD-ROM help teachers to evaluate children’s progress

One lesson per page with clear lesson objectives makes the course easy to teach

Accompanying resources include the Grammar Friends series, skills series, Teacher’s Resource Pack, course readers, and Teacher Resource CD-ROM which allows teachers to focus on additional skills training and means that the course can fit different teaching program per week
