Talk about the pictures If you are a parent or a teacher, find time to sit with your children and look at the book. Talk together about what you see. The ‘Let’s talk!’ questions on the picture pages give ideas of what you can talk about. Try and help your children to move from one-word answers to longer answers.

Find words in the pictures There is lots of action in the pictures. Ask your children to talk about what they see. Can they tell stories about the people in the pictures? They can then begin to use the words for a real purpose. See if the children want to test your English too! What can they ask you to find in the pictures?

There are three levels of exam: • Pre A1 Starters • A1 Movers • A2 Flyers

A1 Movers is a great way to help ch and make further progress in Englis
