							| Coursebook for preschoolers - help! 
 |  
							| Hi dear colleagues I need some help! I �ve been looking for a coursebook for very young learners aged 4 and 5 and it �s been very difficult for me to make a decision. The problem is we �ve got ongle 80 minutes of lessons a week and most of the coursebooks I �ve seen were designed for longer periods of teachig! My students are all boys. I think I �ve found one that might be suitable for them but I really really want your opinion and piece of advice -  if someone has used it or not. The book is Playtime A and B, Oxford.
 Thanks a lot.

							| With boys I �ve used "Cookie and Friends" also by Oxford (Book A & Book B) and that worked pretty well.  I love the story cards.  Also, a contributor to this site has uploaded some nice ws that complement the book. Another book I use is "Wonderland" pre-junior by Pearson & Longman which has characters from Disney so it seems familiar to the kids.  Also has great story sequencing and great songs! 
 I usually choose 1 book for the kids to buy but use materials from other books as well. 
 I haven �t used Playtime so I can �t really comment. 
 Good luck!
