For parents and teachers

For learners who can read short sentences and point to their elbow, knee and jaw. In many schools this fits children of about 8 to 10, and older learners can use it too. Activities use their own body, foods from home, an eggshell, vinegar and string. Nothing from an activity is ever eaten or tasted. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
