Предисловие

Настоящая книга предназначена для младших школьников, изучающих английский язык на уровне A1—A2. Основной целью является развитие навыков чтения, обогащение активного словарного запаса и формирование уверенности в использовании английской речи в повседневных ситуациях. Каждая глава построена вокруг привычных и интересных для ребёнка тем, таких как семья, школа, друзья, хобби и праздники, что способствует поддержанию мотивации и вовлечённости учащихся.

Структура материала тщательно продумана: каждый текст сопровождается подбором ключевых слов и выражений с объяснениями на родном языке, упражнениями на понимание и закрепление, а также заданиями на заполнение пропусков и работу с истинностью утверждений. Такой подход позволяет ребёнку не только читать и понимать тексты, но и активно использовать лексику в устной и письменной речи.

Особое внимание уделено повторению ключевых слов и фраз в контексте, что обеспечивает естественное усвоение языка. Дополнительно включён практический раздел «Build Your Vocabulary», позволяющий закреплять лексику через игровые и познавательные задания.

Цель книги – создать прочную основу для дальнейшего изучения английского языка, формируя у детей положительное отношение к обучению, развивая самостоятельность и навыки критического мышления через разнообразные тексты и упражнения.
