Dear Parents,

Your child has now had their first few lessons of English using Footprints 3 and has met the course characters Emily, Jack and Sam. The main aim of the introductory lessons has been to give your child the opportunity to remember and practise the language that they have already learned and to build their confidence in their ability to learn English. Your child has also learned how to ask and say personal information such as where they live and what their telephone number is.

The topic of Unit 1 is daily routines. In this Unit, your child will learn how to ask and talk about time (o'clock and half past) and daily routines. Here you have some videos, songs and games your child may use.
