As the main shift in Education now is moving from content based on competence based, this Atfaal IRE Activity Pupil’s Book Grade One is carefully crafted to attain this outcome. A competency-based curriculum is mainly achieved through learner-centered approaches. Therefore, all the activities in this book are learner-oriented where the learner takes the lead. Moreover, stimulating and fun activities are also in plenty to arouse interest and curiosity in the learners. The activities are also short and varied to sustain the limited attention span of our young learners.
