STRUCTURE OF THE TEACHING PROGRAM
The Magic Book refers to a book that four children — Nick, Molly, Eddy and Jenny — find by chance. Magically, Benjy the Bear comes to life from out of the book and stays with the children to guide them through the next six years of learning. Each level of the course offers between 80 and 90 lessons, including evaluation; each lesson will be expected to take approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

PROGRESSION AND SKILLS
The structure of The Magic Book 1 and 2 is similar: each unit begins with a story to introduce new words and language structures. It offers an animated song, and ends with games to practise the linguistic material presented.
In The Magic Book 2, Benjy presents the English alphabet.
The Magic Book 3 and 4 maintain the original structure and playful approach of the course, but present some new elements (photographic images, grammar strips, creativity and sound corners) in line with the children’s growth and development.
The Magic Book 5 and 6 give the children the opportunity to reflect on what they have already learned and to elicit grammar rules.
The Magic Book 6 is also enriched by a number of pages on culture and civilization from English-speaking countries.
The sixth volume guides the children towards the competences of Level A2 in the Common European Framework of Reference (pre-intermediate level). In addition, it can be a useful tool to prepare children for English certification exams (Trinity, Cambridge) for elementary school levels.

Digital Book
The complete course is available in a digital version (one for each level), to be used in the classroom with an Interactive Whiteboard (IWB), or for self-study at home on the student’s own computer.
The teacher can turn the pages on the screen, play the dialogues to the students, show the videos and do the exercises in class. Extremely simple to use, the Digital Book groups all the resources and teaching tools in one multimedia location.
