Twinkle Twinkle is a user-friendly resource about teaching English in school years 1–4. It discusses and demonstrates how to develop children’s language skills and how to encourage learners, whatever their background, to become confident and curious users of English. Twinkle Twinkle builds on Kunnskapsløftet 2020. This fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and includes exciting new material, both theoretical and practical. “Twinkle Twinkle is a wonderful gift to teachers of English. It contains loads of practical ideas for Years 1–4. In simple, easy-to-understand English it also explains some of the theory behind the different approaches and activities. Since Twinkle Twinkle presents basic principles for effective and fun foreign language learning, I would argue that it is relevant for English teachers at other levels, too. I love the book!” Ragnhild Elisabeth Lund, Professor in English, University of South-Eastern Norway
