A communicative course for kindergarten and early elementary students learning English for the first time. Magic Time develops the speaking, listening and pre-writing skills of young children through art, music and movement, and language is taught through colourful, humorous, full-page scenes. Each four-page unit spotlights a theme such as shapes, classroom items or pets, that provides a context for the language. The short units build confidence and allow students to feel they are progressing rapidly. Magic Time is a two-level introductory series that is designed to be followed by the six-level communicative series, English Time. The two series can be used separately or as one complete eight-level course.
