Description

DESCRIPTION

Communicate with Cambridge is a comprehensive English course for classes 1–8. It aims to develop communication skills in students by integrating the essential language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. The Literature Readers aim to open up the world of literature to young learners. They explore themes, storylines and characters and also sensitise readers to moral, emotional and narrative complexities. This experience spurs learners to engage with a variety of writing in an enjoyable way, and at the same time gets them to reflect on and analyse a text; broadening their worldviews in the process.
