What a Class 4 unit asks of the child

Each unit gives a topic (families, stories, day and night, homes, getting around, school lunch, Australia, the human race, looking backwards and forwards), then asks the child to read, listen, write and discuss it. Grammar is taught inside the topic, for example comparatives and superlatives in the day-and-night unit and past tenses in the stories unit.
