What teachers say “Our school has been using Holmwood’s for a year and we are seeing the level of English shooting up. Children in group 7 (10 years old) are already able to give presentations and talks in English; something we were never able to do with our previous English course book.” R. Terlouw, elementary school teacher, Bergambacht “ Students say English Premium is better than the book that we used to use. They like their homework better than they used to." P. In den Haak, English teacher - De Passie, Utrecht “Having worked with English Premium for 2 years, children took the CITO test for the first time. The results were astonishingly good." G. Janssen, elementary school teacher, Oostdijk
