Teacher’s Book 2
Welcome to Sunrise – a bright new look at English!

Sunrise is a complete English course written especially for young learners.

Sunrise 2 is the second introductory level, designed to build on Sunrise 1,
reinforcing the preliminary sounds of English and introducing additional sounds
and capital letters. It revises and builds up key vocabulary and communicative language and introduces
children to both reading and writing in English.

Key features
• Sunrise 2 makes learning fun through enjoyable characters including Kitty the loveable kitten
and her friends Aveen, Karwan, Sam and Laura.
• Sunrise 2 has a variety of activities including stories, songs and games. Children are actively
involved in learning.
• Sunrise 2 gives children extensive practice in listening and speaking. There are also beginning
reading and writing activities to develop skills children will need later in the course.
• Sunrise 2 revises the first sounds of the English alphabet and introduces capital letters,
following a carefully researched phonics-based syllabus.

Box 17: Beginning to write words in English
In this unit, children begin to write English
words. They have already had practice in
writing all the lower case letters of the
alphabet. They can now combine letters to
make words. They follow these stages to help
them to write words:
• trace the individual letters of the word that
is written in feint letters on the line
• combine the letters to make the word
When they have written the word, they can
say the letter sound of each letter of the word
to help them to read the word, e.g. h – a – t,
hat.
Note: When we write words in English, we
write the letters from left to right. We leave
a space on the line after each word to show
where each new word begins, e.g.
jam  hat  cat
