For parents and teachers

For learners who can read short sentences and make a few sounds with things at home. In many schools this fits children of about 8 to 10, and older learners can use it too. Activities use rice, a tin or bowl, paper, cups, string, rubber bands and bottles of water. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
