MOVE ON! is a 6 level primary series that is designed to help children start learning basic English grammar and usage successfully, step-by-step.
This series is premised on the idea that children learn a new language easier and faster when they can connect it with their own personal experiences from everyday life. The goal of the series is to foster a learning environment for the child that is familiar, satisfying, and dynamic. Each unit is organized around original stories with life-like pictures which every child can recognize and associate with.
Furthermore, the MOVE ON! series reflects the principle that learning a language requires constant practice and application of the skills one has learned. Each unit is made up of various activities directly related to the focal point in that unit, in order to provide young learners extra help in practicing basic grammar and usage. These written exercises will take your child step-by-step through activities necessary to acquiring important language skills.
