Hats On Top is a colorful, concept-driven course for nursery and preschool children. Building on the success of Hats On, this beautifully designed, four-level course in American English has been digitally enhanced with newly developed components for both teachers and students, and a brand new nursery level.

The course builds on and develops children’s world knowledge, promoting the learning of English through all content areas. While exploring each unit theme and developing English language skills, children simultaneously develop science, math, social studies, art, and physical development skills. Early literacy also plays a key role, with a carefully planned program of literacy and language skills development across levels 1-3.

What makes Hats On Top special?

- Bright, visually stunning photos reflect the idea that learning is fun and dynamic, emphasizing real world activities and situations alongside the colorful story world of the Hat People.

- Hats On Top encourages children to explore what goes on in the world around them and focuses on concept and real world experimentation.

- Learning and exploration are supported and extended digitally through the Discovery Disc packaged with the Student Book, where children can play games, read interactive stories and dance along with the Hat People to interactive songs.

- The new nursery level encourages children to engage with English, learning and print awareness through teacher-led, structured play. A key feature of this is the Learning Kits, which enable the teacher to model an interaction and the children to explore this further in their own way.
