Books with author Peter Webster

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

"Popcorn" is a course for 6-12 year olds, encouraging them to be active learners. It engages and maintains their interest through lively stories, games, songs, rhymes, drama, projects and craft work - activities that are fun as well as educational. "Popcorn" reflects the varying interests and abilities of learners in the 6-12 age range. The course develops at the same pace as the learners who are using it, both in terms of language and conceptual ability. In Levels 1-3 (ages 6-9), pupils follow the lives of American schoolchildren of their own age. They are encouraged to compare their lives with those of the characters they see in the story. In Level 1 the emphasis is on speaking and listening, with a gradual introduction to simple reading and writing. By Levels 2 and 3, children are encouraged to broaden their horizons. Work is incorporated from other areas of the school curriculum, and topic units are introduced in Level 3. The Teacher's Books provide guidance and ready-made lesson plans, a breakdown of language, topics and skills covered at each level, plus ideas for additional ways to exploit the material provided. These can be photocopied and used at the end of each term.
