The English series is a set of curriculum books designed to address the need for a comprehensive language curriculum for levels 1-8 through a three-part series comprising Books A, B and C. Books A and B provide the core instructional content. Book C has additional practice material. The language syllabus in the series is based on various approaches (skill-based, whole language, structural and functional). Content is organised thematically in the form of stories, plays, poems and infographics. Exercises and tasks facilitate the teaching of listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation. In the primary levels, the series begins with a recap lesson that focuses on the concepts learnt in the previous grade. In Levels 7 and 8, every unit is accompanied by a worksheet on academic skills that focus on study skills. Besides the core curriculum, the series has an integrated grammar companion that parallels the core grammar syllabus. The companion seeks to provide learners with a good understanding of the fundamentals of English grammar. The series integrates a carefully graded progression of cursive writing patterns in levels 1 and 2. The introductory lessons in the core instructional book are intended to be followed up with practice through the Cursive series. In levels 3, 4 and 5, cursive writing provides practice through fun facts and tidbits. The core syllabus also integrates supplementary reading through interesting short reads as well as thematic projects based on Multiple Intelligences and Life Skills. The series provides homework material in the form of extra reading content as well as exercises that reinforce the lessons. This series is further supported by A Teacher Manual that offers pedagogical support in the form of activities, classroom strategies, listening inputs, answer keys, question bank and detailed parameters for both formative and summative assessment; A Resource Kit for the primary levels that contains multi-concept board games, charts and worksheets for extended practice; and Digital content that integrates the lessons via TeachNext, Next Education's award-winning digital learning solution.
