Class Book:  It is absolutely essential that students’ listening skills be developed. Therefore, the CDs should always be used in the exercises which involve listening comprehension. The book includes videos which are really worth watching.

Writing:  see 2024 Types of Writing for Kids  

Activity Book:  As in the class book it’s very important that you use the audio for the exercises which include listening. 
There’s an Extra Grammar Practice section which you will find really useful.

Teacher’s Guide: We strongly recommend the use of the Teacher's Guide. It contains a tour of a unit which will guide you as to how to deal with the material combining CB and AB, the course syllabus, step-by-step teaching notes for every lesson in the book, together with extra ideas, transcripts for all the recordings, answers for all activities, an Ideas Bank with games and songs and a Wordlist containing the core vocabulary and other key language.  

There’s a Teacher’s Resource Centre, which you can access using the code at the back of the Teacher’s Guide, where you can find tests, videos, extra material and guides to help you with the course. Unit tests are compulsory. We suggest the use of the Revision worksheets.

Classroom Resource Pack: It contains flashcards and a poster. 

We suggest you join OXFORD TEACHERS’ CLUB to make use of all the resources for Bright Ideas.

Reader: We suggest you deal with The Selfish Giant after the winter holidays. There are interesting exercises on the Activity Pages throughout the book. We strongly advise you to use the audio to help your students further develop their listening skills. We recommend you buy the Teacher’s book, which contains the reader itself, some notes and the audio.

Note: Even though there are sentences using ‘must’ students are not expected to use this modal when answering questions about the story. DO NOT TEACH this form.

                                                   NOTES FOR THE FINAL EXAM

The Simple Past tense (of some regular verbs and was/were), introduced in units 7-8, will only be tested for recognition in the final written exam. The Simple Past will not be tested in the writing section or in the oral exam.

For the oral exam make sure that the students answer yes/no questions by using yes/no + subject + auxiliary/to be. E.g.:  Is he….? Yes, he is / No, he isn’t
                                                  Do you like …..? Yes, I do / No, I don’t
and that they give a full answer to information questions. E.g.: What does John play? He plays the violin.
