Mimi's Wheel Pre-A1

Wider lexical fields (school, places in town, hobbies, weather, daily routines), more present-simple variation, basic plurals, possessives (my/your), can/can't. First handwriting: tracing then forming letters; reading short familiar words and simple high-frequency sentences. Story episodes peak in length and complexity, and a "values" thread (sharing, kindness, looking after the planet) runs through the Plus pages. Exit goal: child ready for Year 1 primary English (Academy Stars Starter, English World 1, Bond Out, etc.).
