Sam: an adventure full of discoveries and routines

We would like to welcome you to Sam, the Kids&Us course for children age three. At this stage, we support the children in their day-to-day lives as they learn English, and we help them to become more independent, confident, and self-assured through experiences that relate to their world.

What does the renewed learning experience in Sam include? 

At Kids&Us, we are constantly innovating to offer our students the best possible learning experience: one that is unique, of the highest quality and tailored to each stage of their development.  

To achieve this, we have combined the best of the classroom environment with the best that cutting-edge technology has to offer; in other words, we have retained the core principles of our method whilst adding an extra layer of technological support. 

This is our essence evolved: Upgrading the Essence.   

What will the students learn in Sam?

Learning is based on linguistic immersion, games, and activities that are designed to connect with the day-to-day lives of the children. 

Through everyday situations such as getting dressed, washing hands or playing, the children naturally become familiar with English: 

  • They discover new structures and sounds in English.  

  • They develop habits that promote their autonomy.    

  • They learn while playing, repeating, and interacting with the rest of the group.

What materials will the students have in Sam?

The course material in Sam is designed to spark the children’s curiosity and help families support their learning at home in a simple and natural way. 

Student Book

The children will have four books (one per story) to help them practise the English they learn in class at home in an enjoyable and fun way. 

  • Stories covered in class that continue at home 

  • Games, stickers and activities designed for their age group 

  • Simple, intuitive activities, with or without the Talking Pen 

Booklet and Routine Booklet

The children will have access to materials designed to support the families while they develop good habits or carry out everyday activities. 

  • Booklet: the children will have to bring this to class every day so that the teachers can monitor how often they listen to the audio track, which in turn encourages them to listen to it every day. 

  • Routine Booklet: the children will take this material home, and it will help them to integrate daily habits and routines in English at home. 

Kan-do

This cuddly toy will be a friend for the children and help them to consolidate their habits and accompany them while they follow their home routines. 

  • It will encourage the little ones to be more independent and to develop good habits. 

  • It will connect learning English with their family environment. 

Workbook

The children will use this workbook in class to practise the structures of each story through a range of activities.  

  • It visually reinforces the course content.  

  • It encourages interaction in the classroom. 

My Way

The students will have access to this application, carefully designed to complement the physical material of our method and provide a comprehensive learning experience, which includes: 

  • The course audio tracks, an essential routine in the Kids&Us method 

  • Supplementary material to work on good habits and encourage collaborating in daily tasks with the help of Kan-do 

  • Additional content: games, songs and videos 

Talking Pen (complementary)

What’s more, you can increase your children’s exposure to English with this digital pen. Thanks to it, the children will learn to pronounce English in a fun and engaging way at home. 

  • It plays audio texts to help the children improve their pronunciation. 

  • It brings the characters to life.  

  • It’s easy to use: simply place it over the sound spots in the Kids&Us books.
