Listen Kids creates a warm and whimsical world populated by dragons wizards, clowns, children and other loveable characters. The audio brings this world to life--close your eyes and you can almost see the characters as they speak and interact. The world of Listen Kids includes music, songs, and stories. The rhythmic chants in Listen Kids really rock. They are fun but not childish. The songs entertain but don't talk down to the children. The unforgettable stories introduce the grammar points in an imaginative and playful context.

Language learning begins with massive comprehensible input, in other words, loads of listening. Listen Kids is a new approach to children's English education that puts listening first. Each unit moves through three cycles of listening introducing vocabulary, both singular and plural noun forms, affirmative statements, negative statements, yes/no questions, wh-questions, long and short answer forms, and simple commands--all presented in clear, easy-to-teach, easy-to-learn, bite-size activities.

Listen Kids is a full color text with an Audio CD.

Its unique self-checking feature makes Listen Kids a great home study or self-study course. Its simple, easy-to-teach approach makes Listen Kids a great a classroom text. Listen Kids many "listen and do" activities make it a great supplement for young language learners.
