Primary Colours is a new four-level course for young learners from the age of 6 or 7.

It is packed with fun activities which ensure that children use English in a purposeful way. Right from the start, they are fully involved in thinking for themselves, doing things for themselves and making things themselves.

The Pupil's Book has engaging stories, puzzles, games, songs and chants and a craft activity in every unit. The colour Activity Book, for use in class and at home, includes stickers with which children can create their own picture dictionaries. The clear Teacher's Book contains all the pages from the Pupil's Book with interleaved teaching notes.

The course encourages children to think about the world around them and, at the higher levels, to make connections with other areas of the curriculum. This approach makes language learning meaningful and memorable.

The Starter Level, for children in the early stages of literacy, provides a full year of work and focuses on listening and speaking. Level 1, which can also be used with complete beginners, is for children who are ready to deal with all four skills.
