For parents and teachers
For learners who can read short sentences. In many schools this fits children of about 8 to 10, and older learners can use it too. Activities use a fridge magnet or any small magnet, a needle, a torch cell and a bulb if you have them, and say what to do if you do not. Never let a learner touch mains electricity or a wall socket. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
