It is assumed that the child will learn to speak and write correctly, by imitation, if the proper forms are presented to him. Accordingly much attention is given in this book to expressions frequently misused, as for example, troublesome verb forms.

The author has written from the standpoint of the child, and in language that the child can readily comprehend.
The Caribbean Language Arts Project has been devised, piloted and thoroughly tested in primary schools by the Curriculum and Materials Development Unit of the St Lucia Ministry of Education. The course takes the child through the three distinct, but interrelated, elements of language learning: oral communication (listening and speaking), reading and writing. The main content in all the books is drawn from the everyday lives of the children with great use made of people, objects and scenes in the immediate environment.
