The NMC, which teaches reading in English from the very beginning, fosters moral values ​​and promotes good behavior in everyday life Life. Designed for varying hours, the NMC prepares for testing from the very beginning and has a clear, user-friendly structure.
The NMC begins with a preschool textbook, First Friends, which can be used optionally. Afterward, children move on to Family and Friends. A third of each section is devoted to working on basic language skills. The gradual approach focuses on writing, reading, speaking, and understanding English.
One of the six lessons is devoted to teaching reading, where children learn to recognize and pronounce the sounds of the English language. Flashcards are used for this purpose at levels 1 through 3, and additional tasks are provided on MultiROMi for students.
The supplementary component (Photocopy Masters Book) for levels 1-2 contains 15 photocopiable pages dedicated to developing moral values ​​in schoolchildren. The Testing and Evaluation Book and the test builder on CD (Family and Friends iTools) help teachers assess student progress. One lesson per page with clear objectives simplifies lesson planning. Additional resources, including the Grammar Friends series, adapted readers, the Teachers Resource Pack, and the CD (Family and Friends iTools), allow teachers to focus on teaching additional skills and adapt the CMC to varying numbers of class hours per week.
