| Preface
This is the first of a series of eight graded workbooks which together form a
complete English course for the Primary stage. Two introductory workbooks
are also available for those who wish to begin the course at an easier level,
making ten in all. The course provides exercises in spelling, punctuation,
vocabulary, very simple grammar, sentence and paragraph composition, and
comprehension. As only limited scope is offered for free or creative
composition, it is hoped that situations outside the course will be exploited as
a means of extending it.
The course starts at the beginning of written English. At this stage a child can
be expected to read and speak proper sentences, but cannot be expected to
write them. Accordingly no assumption has been made that the beginner is
able to write a complete sentence in answer to a question. On the contrary,
throughout the earlier books every possible device has been used to give the
child the power to do so by persuading him not only to copy sentences, but to
complete, alter, join, rearrange and build them.
Pupils learn by doing, but they learn better by doing correctly. The exercises
are set in a way which not only challenges completion but also ensures correct
completion. From the Third Workbook onwards a glossary of all words dealt
with in the vocabulary work is given at the end of each book.
Workbooks make for ease of working and for self-confident progress. They
form a record of the pupil's work, and as each child possesses his own book
they encourage pride of possession. It is believed that teachers will find
these English workbooks a new and powerful ally in.their fight for the
speaking and writing of good English.

Before crossing the road we must find a safe place to cross, then
stop. Stand on the pavement near the kerb and look all round for
traffic. This means looking to the left and the right as well as to
the front. As well as looking you must listen, and if there is any
traffic coming you must let it pass. Then look all round again and,
when there is no traffic near, walk straight across the road.
Keep looking and listening for traffic while you cross. —
