Quick Minds

The Pupil's Books are based on the adventures of different groups of friends who change and develop to match the growing maturity of the children.

They provide a wide range of classroom activities: songs, stories, grammar lessons, skills, Phonics, Think! and Create That! lessons, Learn and Think! (CLIL) lessons. There are also Review sections.

The Activity Book reinforces the core vocabulary, grammar and skills development, offering a variety of exercise types: Reading, matching and colouring, puzzles, written practice (at word level in levels 1 & 2) and grammar. Plenty of extra listening input and opportunities for oral work are also provided. A full colour Picture Dictionary and self-evaluation pages are also included.

The online activities and games are for pupils to use at home or in the school computer room, with:

• The Pupil's Book stories brought to life with high-quality animation
• The Pupil's Book songs with karaoke versions for the pupils to record and play back their own voice
• Videoke activities featuring real-life clips, with the option for pupils to record themselves.

The full-colour Teacher's Book, available in English and Spanish, comes with facsimile pages of the Pupil's Book and Activity Book and contains:

• An Aims box with detailed lesson objectives, new and recycled language, materials needed for the lesson and the Basic competences that the pupils will achieve.
• Clear guidance on the Basic Competences and how they relate to the activities in the Pupil's Book and Activity Book.
• Concise and clear instructions, audioscripts and answers for all the Pupil's Book and Activity Book activities.

This contains the following flexible photocopiable resources for each unit:

• Three worksheets to reinforce the core vocabulary and structures through extra practice.
• One cross-curricular or skills extension worksheet.
• Teaching notes with suggestions for exploitation and optional follow-up activities.
• Two flexible tests per term, one Standard level for reinforcement, and the other High level. These tests assess the course content and have been prepared with the linguistic competence and the basic competences in mind.

For levels 1-4 there are posters to review all the vocabulary and grammar to coincide with the Review sections.
In levels 5 and 6 the 3 review posters include grammar summaries of all the grammar for every three units.

Flashcards and their corresponding Wordcards cover the core vocabulary for levels 1 to 4.

The four Class CDs contain all the recorded material for the Pupil’s Book and Activity Book, including the chants, songs, karaoke versions and stories. They also include the recordings for the tests.
