English All In: Activities, Songs and Rhymes For Classes 1-3 & Writing and Reading Exercises For Class 4 

"Drawing on more than four decades of teaching, Alec’s book offers EFL/ESL teachers a valuable collection of material for grades 1-4, along with helpful methodological suggestions as to how to put it into practice. His concept of how a full immersion in the sounds and structures of English in the lower school creates a fruitful basis for an increasingly conscious approach to grammar in the middle and upper school is illuminating and will provide teachers with a clearer understanding of these subtle, yet vital connections."
