BEGINNER TO INTERMEDIATE

Big Bugs is a new four-level story-based course for primary children (ages 9-12).

Big Bugs 1 and 2 provide continuity and progression by recycling and developing language learnt at the early stages of primary. There are eight story-based units with extra materials for key festivals in the year. These fascinating stories help to contextualise new language and provide opportunities for the children to communicate in English.

Key features:
• Eight story-based units
• Three double-page revision games
• A double page of stickers in the Activity Book
• Four cut-out minibooks in the Activity Book
• 72 full-colour Story Cards illustrating key vocabulary
• 64 full-colour Flashcards to present or review new vocabulary
• 64 Word Cards showing key vocabulary
• Unit tests (one per unit) and three Progress Tests

Big Bugs 3 and 4 takes a more mature approach to learning with the adventures of the pop group ‘The Bugs Band’. Children discover the real world through cross-curricular related activities and more attention is paid to language and grammar specifically. In addition, there is a communicative syllabus with an integrated and balanced approach to all four skills.

Macmillan Children's Readers levels 3 to 6 can be used in conjunction with Big Bugs.
