My Favorite is a six-level educational series designed and prepared for students learning English as a foreign language (Cycles 1 & 2 - Grades 1-6) and also as a means of learning.
My Favorite series captures the student’s eagerness to discover and learn. It provides a rich learning environment and offers meaningful learning experiences in the elementary cycles.
With My Favorite series, students will:
• Develop good communication skills.
• See themselves as readers and writers.
• Gain the sense of literary analysis through reading and discussing a wide range of fiction and non-fiction.
• Learn phonics in a balanced integrated approach to reading,
writing, speaking, listening and complex thinking.
• Acquire rich vocabulary and word concepts.
• Use technology as one of the tools for language learning.
• Sing songs and play games.
• Listen to and read poems.
The series has been carefully designed to fill in the gaps of EFL programs on the market and many other series designed for native speakers or immigrants in English speaking countries. It is rich and respects the students’ intelligence without overwhelming or intimidating them with long lists of titles that are culture-bound and would only add to the problems of teaching and learning. The books are student and teacher-friendly. The layout and the directions are clear. The illustrations are rich and capturing. Audio CDs are available.
The components of each grade level are:
> Student Book (contains dialogs, graded and decodable reading texts, integrated activities, songs, and projects).
> Language Arts Book (contains phonics, reading comprehension, spelling, grammar, and editing).
> Storybook (contains a collection of graded stories that tie in with the language in the Student Book and the Language Arts Book).
Teacher’s Book (contains lesson plans, teaching tips, games and activities, and sample tests).
> Audio CD
