Rezensionen / Stimmen
Having used 'Archie's BIG BOOK of friendship adventures' together with the 'What's the Buzz? For Early Learners' I strongly believe that a new edition that incorporates an older Archie (e.g 11 or 12 years of age) with stories at the beginning of every lesson will enhance the new edition. Reflecting on the new titles for some of the chapters makes sense too as well as the new chapter, 'Giving friendly feedback'.
This is an area that continues to grow in today's society. Students seem to come to school or pre-school with immature social skills and emotional development. Students with additional needs such as ASD, Attention disorders, anxiety are more prevalent in educational settings and as such staff and families are needing educational resources like What's the Buzz and Archie to assist implement these program at home, school or in other health services.
