For parents and teachers

For learners who can read short sentences. In many schools this fits children of about 8 to 10, and older learners can use it too. Every activity uses things most homes have: the sun, a stick, paper, a candle or a lamp. Never let a learner look at the Sun, even through anything. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
