Play and Learn books use a communicative approach and a teaching methodology that consists of: Presentation of vocabulary through attractive pictures of items that children are familiar with. Vocavulary is reinforced with language structures so children can store the information (silent period) and the use it to begin tos ay single words or ready-made short phrases (beginning to talk period). Exercises and activities that allow students to reinforce what they learned. Themes are interconnected so that children can learn, practice, and review different subjects simultaneously. Explanations are easy to follow, which eases the teacher€™s task of making English learning more interesting and interactive. Listening activities: visual-auditory exercises, songs and poems related to the topic seen. All the activities come on a CD designed to improve students´listening skills and pronunciation as well as reviewing what they ve learned. A skills assessment chart to help the teacher assess the skills the students should have developed by each unit. All these makes Play and Learn an excellent means to help preschoolers learn English as a second language and have fun in the process.
