Each of the 19 lessons opens with a title and text to introduce the story, followed by a symbol-supported dictionary of emotions page. Every page of the four-page story is a new scene, depicted with colour photographs and text to illustrate the situation. Each story page also features a multiple-choice “How do I feel?” question, which requires the student to correctly identify, by facial expression, the character’s likely response. Following the stories are two pages of symbol-supported review material and activities.

  • Provides photos of people expressing feelings, and stories and activities for discussion
  • Offers a contemporary language arts curriculum
