Raise Up! A1 Book - complete

This is the fourth book in the Raise Up! project and it has 8 lessons for A1 (beginner) level written by a diverse team of writers, editors and illustrators. We had the privilege to work with five guest writers in this edition: Rhona Snelling on refugee life, Silvana Accardo and Romina Mangini on science, Ceri Jones on accessibilty, and Jon Hird on personal preferences. Four of the lessons have been written by Raise Up! organisers Ilá Coimbra, Taiza Lombardi, and James M. Taylor.

Each lesson is beautifully illustrated, and there are two listening lessons. The mp3s and transcripts for students are included, as well as extensive teacher's notes containing answers, teaching suggestions and resources.

All proceeds from this book go to The Hands Up Project. The project is committed to social justice, global citizenship, and freedom of expression, and upholds the belief that language learning is enhanced through creativity, performance and collaborative interaction. To these ends, the project affords opportunities for children in difficult circumstances, such as Palestine, to use English to communicate with one another across borders in a “spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity.” UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.

We are proud to partner with them to support their invaluable work.
