Fingerprints is an innovative course in American English, which offers children a hands-on art science, math or cookery project to language learning and builds cross-curricular skills. It features:

• a controlled lanuguage syllabus based on mine child-centered themes
• cross-curricular activities to simulate language used in the context of other subject areas
• full-color stickers to reinforce key vocabulary
• an extensive program of songs, chants and dialogs
• a well known fairytale, which children can prepare as an end-of-year production

For the teachers, the interleaved Teacher's Guide provides:

• full support for planning and assessment
• vocabulary games in every unit
• ideas for an interactive bulletin board featuring displays and open-ended practice activities
• options for further developing early literacy

Each level of Fingerprints consists of a Student Book, Activity Book, Teacher's Guide and Audio Program (available on CD). Posters and Picture Cards for use with all three levels are contained in the Activity Pack, and an interactive CD-ROM allows children to practice and review language at their own pace.
