Welcome Starter a and b is an early-primary course specially designed to meet the needs of pupils in their first years of English language learning. Pupils experience the world through the adventures of two mice, Cecil Mouse and Ellie May, along with the all-time-favourite Masid, the genie!

Welcome Starter a comprises three modules of two units each. It focuses mainly on Listening and Speaking, but also offers pre-writing and pre-reading activities as well as a subtle introduction to the alphabet.
