Greenman and the Magic Forest 2nd Edition
Greenman and the Magic Forest
Greenman and the Magic Forest Second edition is a three-level pre-primary English course that nurtures children as they grow.
It’s a beautiful day in the Magic Forest. Three friends are on an adventure, singing songs and learning about the natural world. Let’s explore together with Nico, Sam and our guide Greenman, the protector of the forest. Greenman and the Magic Forest is a three-level series that nurtures very young children as they grow and learn a new language, by helping to develop confident social interactions and a caring approach to nature. There's a fresh page design, digital packs for the teachers and learners, a Forest Fun Activity Book, and lots of new videos.

Let's look at a typical unit
Children grow and learn fast between 3 and 5, and the course materials need to grow with them, reflecting the physical, emotional and cognitive changes.
A course that grows with children
With Greenman, children learn English in tune with their development. Nico and Sam, the two children in Greenman's stories, grow with every level of the book. The activities increase in challenge to reflect children's skills and capabilities. This keeps the learners engaged and motivated.
A clear structure
There are three levels in Greenman Second edition: Starter, Level A and Level B. Each level divides into six units. All the units follow the same pattern, giving very young learners a clear structure. This helps children understand what to expect from every lesson and what the teacher expects of them. The familiar structure makes them feel safe, comfortable and ready to learn.
