Alex and Friends

This is a listening and reading resource available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian for primary language learners. It comes in the shape of a CD with a transcript n a booklet. It covers the vocabulary for numbers up to 30, weather, small animals, farm animals and some items of food and clothing. The readers can look for the mouse in each illustration. The CD and booklet, in A4 format, cost £13.99.
This colourful booklet could certainly boost confidence and the whole concept was created because the author’s children complained about not being able to understand conversations they heard in France after a year of learning French. The illustrations are great works of art in themselves, so the resource is worth having not just for its language teaching qualities.
This is good value for money and should enhance any primary classroom.
