Fun Bridge

propongono la revisione e il rinforzo dei contenuti linguistici già acquisiti dai ragazzi durante la Scuola Primaria in una veste più vicina alla didattica della Scuola Secondaria. Il cambiamento tra Scuola Primaria e Scuola Secondaria è molto impegnativo per i ragazzi che si troveranno in un ambiente nuovo, con insegnanti che non conoscono e alle prese con testi scolastici tipologicamente diversi da quelli a cui sono abituati. Per questo Fun Bridge e Fun Grammar costituiscono lo strumento ideale per facilitare il passaggio tra i due gradi di istruzione.

Fun Bridge

propongono la revisione e il rinforzo dei contenuti linguistici già acquisiti dai ragazzi durante la Scuola Primaria in una veste più vicina alla didattica della Scuola Secondaria. Il cambiamento tra Scuola Primaria e Scuola Secondaria è molto impegnativo per i ragazzi che si troveranno in un ambiente nuovo, con insegnanti che non conoscono e alle prese con testi scolastici tipologicamente diversi da quelli a cui sono abituati. Per questo Fun Bridge e Fun Grammar costituiscono lo strumento ideale per facilitare il passaggio tra i due gradi di istruzione.
