Sparkle Multiskill English, comprising Starter A and Starter B, for Pre-primary Classes, and eight Readers and eight Activity Books, for Classes I to VIII, is an innovative package developed on a holistic approach that combines the solid grammar foundation provided by the structural approach with the impressive fluency given by the interactive approach. The books are designed to promote speech fluency among children by drawing them into interactive situations and providing them a solid base of grammar and correct usage. Readers include a representative selection from both traditional and contemporary writing and cover a wide range of interests—adventure, folklore, humour, wit and wisdom, animal stories, comic strips, etc. While enjoyment remains the common denominator of all reading material, prose pieces are specially meant for intensive language study, poems to develop an ear for rhyme and rhythm and plays to promote interaction. All passages are age-appropriate and have been structurally graded. They are closely linked to real-life situations and by placing children in relevant social contexts should stimulate thinking, inculcate discretion and promote human values among them. All the chapters in the series have been exhaustively exploited to evaluate reading comprehension, to broaden vocabulary base, to teach essential language structures and to develop oral and writing skills. Some chapters also have additional listening comprehension exercises for which listening texts are available at sultan-chand.com/ws. Some poem recitals are also available online to demonstrate to the students how the poems are to be read.
