Based on the curriculum, the Excel Early Skills series covers a wide range of English topics to give children of pre-school and Year 1 a head start for the school years to come. The series offers a systematic and comprehensive programme of 10 books on English. A clear and easy-to-follow page design has been developed in the books with clear explanations. The activities in each book are divided into double pages. Each double page allows children to practise one particular skill many times.

The Level 3 Biff, Chip and Kipper Stories provide humorous storylines to engage and motivate children. The popular characters and familiar settings are brought to life by Roderick Hunt and Alex Brychta. The stories are unchanged from the previous edition but the cover notes have been updated to support adults in sharing the story with the child.

This beautifully illustrated dictionary helps young learners to practise over 800 words for 40 topics taught in school, including People at Work, My Body, and What’s the Time?

On every page, you’ll find conversation-based activities that draw on children’s everyday experiences, making learning relevant and memorable. The audio CD includes 20 songs, helping students to remember new language, while developing their pronunciation and fluency. The dictionary also covers all the Cambridge English: Young Learners topics, to build children’s confidence ahead of test day.
