The material taught in this textbook is divided into 5 units:

The first unit of this book contains an introduction to the English alphabet as a basis for students to understand the letters, both capital and lowercase letters, and how to pronounce them. This unit is important as a first step in language learning, as a good understanding of the alphabet will make it easier for students to read and write.

Unit Two deals with a basic introduction to numbers. This unit aims to help students understand numbers, as well as the basic concept of counting. Number recognition is crucial in learning mathematics, as a good understanding of numbers will make it easier for students to perform basic operations such as addition and subtraction.

Unit Three focuses on recognizing human body parts. This unit focuses on helping students recognize and name various parts of the body, as well as understand the basic functions of each body part. The introduction of body parts is necessary to help students know the functions and uses of body parts.

Unit Four focuses on introducing the names of days and months in English. This unit aims to help students know the names of the days of the week and months of the year. This unit is also designed so that students can explain the names of days, months, birth dates, and daily activities correctly.

Unit Five, the last unit in this book focuses on how students understand time, how to read a clock, recognize the time of day, and narrate their daily activities using the correct time vocabulary in English. This time recognition is a skill that students should have to organize their activities in daily life.

The book, published by Yrama Widya Publisher, is 152 pages thick, 27 cm long and 21 cm wide, and is very attractive in design and suitable for children. The paper used is also of good quality and comfortable for students to use.

I highly recommend this book for teachers or parents who are interested and want to teach their children English from an early age.
