- The Teacher’s Book ties all aspects of the program together in a series of lesson plans.
- It provides the framework and the tools for delivering a language skills and literacy course.
- Lesson plans provide an overview of the story; the learning objectives; the materials needed; and step-by-step instructions for the presentation, practice, extension, review, and assessment stages of each lesson.
- The Teacher’s Notes & Photocopiables are referenced in the Teacher’s Guide so that information isn’t duplicated across the two teaching components, and photocopiable activities sheets can be used in both teaching scenarios, i.e., whether a teacher is using the Teacher’s Guide or the Teacher’s Notes.
