Ten units each include a colorful opening spread for children to identify the new vocabulary with stickers, Cool Language and Cool Grammar presentations, a song or chant, a Value, a practical craft activity, and a pair- or groupwork speaking game which recycles language from the previous two units; as well as meaningful vocabulary, grammar and skills practice.

Cool Reading places emphasis on both comics and non-fiction texts to help students consolidate their knowledge and expand their vocabulary; and equally importantly, to encourage their creativity and research skills across content areas. This will help them develop good reading habits and reading comprehension skills to approach higher educational levels in the future. Stories are accompanied by Worksheets with activities to develop students’ critical thinking skills.
