Foundation: Term 1 - UK Year 2 / US Grade 1

There’s no house without its foundation. No tree without its trunk. No sentence without its first word.

Every learner needs a starting point, and beyond offering extra English practice, this book offers something much more essential: a method to become someone through English.

Foundation is a 12-unit workbook for young learners (aged 6–9) who already understand basic English, and are ready for more. Designed for non-native speakers, it helps students build fluency, confidence, and a voice of their own.

Each unit explores a theme that matters to children through listening and vocabulary tasks, drawing and writing prompts, and grammar challenges. Students create sentences, paragraphs, and full texts worth reading, sharing, and even presenting out loud.

Just a fair warning: this isn’t your typical language course. Quirky characters lurk among its pages, populating a wild funland where English is the only way forward. In their world, grammar exercises come disguised as jokes, riddles, and stories. Before they know it, students are thinking in English, not translating it.

And who rules this strange, silly kingdom? Your child, by building it all with creativity, brainpower, and critical thinking.

By the end, students will have built a strong foundation: not just in English structures, but in the habit of expressing their own ideas, in their own way.

What your child will do:

• 🗣 Practise oral and written self-expression in every unit.
• 🧠 Strengthen basic structures without boring repetition.
• 📚 Build vocabulary and listening comprehension around familiar topics.
• 🎨 Use English to invent, imagine, and describe the outside world and their inner world.
• 📖 Engage with reading, drawing, and short writing activities that awaken their voice.

Includes:

• 12 units covering food, school, home, fun, feelings, holidays, and more.
• Vocabulary, listening, and grammar woven into playful activities.
• No drills. No pressure. Just joyful, meaningful English from the ground up!

Ideal For:

Young learners aged 6–9 | Beginner–lower intermediate English speakers | Bilingual families | Kids who learn best when they’re laughing, creating, and being themselves
