Fingerprints is an innovative three-level course in American English which offers pre-school children a hands-on approach to language learning.
Fingerprints has been designed to appeal to children´s interests and address their all-round development. It features:
*a controlled language syllabus based on nine child-centered themes
*cross-curricular activities to stimulate language use in the context of other subject areas
*full-color stickers to reinforce key vocabulary
*an extensive program of songs, chants and dialogs
*a well-known fairytale, which children can prepare as an end of-year production
For the teacher, the interleaved Teacher´s Guide provides:
*full support for planning and assessment
*vocabulary games in every unit
*ideas for an interactive bulletin board featuring displays and open-ended practice activities
*options for further developing early literacy
Each level of Fingerprints consists of a Student Book, Activity Book, Teacher´s Guide and Audio Program (available on cassette or CD). Posters and Picture Cards for use with all three levels are contained in the Activity Pack, and an interactive CD-ROM allows children to practice and review language at their own pace.
