本書有如下特點:1. 本書時尚新穎。選擇了當前最流行、趨向“國際性”的美式發(fā)音,符合當前英語教學的實際,滿足讀者希望學習純正美式發(fā)音的要求。2. 本書實用性強。每單元都將精心編排的高頻詞融入簡單易懂的句子里,增強讀者的理解力,同時色彩鮮明的插圖更加強了讀者的興趣和理解,給讀者迅速成功的快感。3. 本書內(nèi)容豐富。配有各種語音活動、游戲以及書中人物的出游記。語音團隊的人物Pat, Tom Will, Jen, May, Mike, Steve和Luz都是精挑細選,通過人名來強調(diào)英語元音字母,加強讀者記憶。4. 本書體例編排合理。從單元音、短元音詞(Pat has a van)講起,到長元音單詞(Mike rides a bike)及更長的句法,其間貫穿更復雜的聲音和記號的關系,如輔音合并和復合字線(Math problems make you think)等。5. 本書特色鮮明。每頁的頂端都用紅色著重突出新的音節(jié)和拼寫形式,讀者亦可在書后的不規(guī)則動詞列表中查閱。在每單元的結尾,語音團隊的隊員都將展示其幽默圖片故事和小短劇,學生可以閱讀,也可進行角色扮演。這些故事的設計都旨在加強該單元剛學過的詞匯,妙趣橫生,精彩紛呈。
