Let's Learn English is an English course that is designed to meet the learning needs of pupils in primary school. The course adopts the thematic approach to the learning and teaching of English outlined by the new English primary syllabus. The language is taught in contexts that are familiar to the pupils. In lower primary, the course introduces the learners to the four basic language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The series is lavishly illustrated and contains exciting, and pupil-friendly activities and exercises which make the learning of English enjoyable. 

In upper primary, the skills learned in lower primary are intensified through more complex sentence structures, vocabulary in well-selected passages and poems, and involving exercises. 

Pupils' Book 8 is the final text in the revised series. The book has been "made in consonance with the requirements of the new English syllabus for Standard Eight. It contains full-colour illustrations meant to attract and hold the attention of the pupils. In each unit, the four language skills are set out in a logical progression. The book is learner-centred and is designed to enable pupils to actively participate in their own learning. Opportunities are thus provided for controlled classroom talk. The text contains numerous activities and exercises meant to test and further strengthen what has been learned. Multiple choice questions modelled on the KCPE English exam are provided to enable pupils familiarise themselves with the structure and format of the final examination. The book guarantees maximum enjoyment in the learning of English, and it is hoped that the pupils and the teachers will find it very useful indeed.
