9With fun activity sheets, great word searches & lovely colouring pages, Cool Kids Speak Italian Book 1 is an ideal book for children learning Italian. The suggested age range for this book is 7 to 11 year olds, but the fun activities may also interest children of other ages. The topics in book 1 include Greetings & Introductions - Numbers 1-10 - Colours - Pet animals - Drinks - Pizzas. Each topic begins with a page full of images and the Italian words for the topic. Progression throughout each of the topics has been carefully planned as the activities practice only a few of the new words at any one time, and gradually introduce simple sentence structures. At the back of the book is a useful Italian - English word list and also the answer section. This lovely book is one of a series and has been written by Joanne Leyland, a qualified teacher with almost 20 years experience in teaching languages to children.
