Holybird Publishing 策划出版的“西方原版教材与经典读物”，如《美国语文》、《英国语文》、《Basic Readers》等，上市后得到了许多读者的认可与好评。这些图书直接源于英语国家使用的教材与英语读本，让中国读者通过这些原版的英语教材读物，感受西方历史文化、了解语言学习的秘密。
出版这些“洋书”的同时，Holybird 也一直在考虑如何帮助国内小学阶段的孩子们更好地学习英语。于是我们收集了国内小学生所使用的主要教材版本，与加拿大本地外教凯伦·史密斯一起探讨。她决定根据这些版本, 按照国内小学英语的教学要求, 分年级编写一套学习指导书, 供国内小学生在每个年级结束之后, 系统掌握所学知识, 为下一年级的英语学习打好基础。
这套《跟外教学小学英语》，从一位英语母语者和ESL 教学者的角度, 指导国内小学生如何更好地使用和学好英语课本, 培养英语学习兴趣, 打好基础，通往高效学习语言之路。
同时提供配套英文朗读音频免费下载。让读者在品读精彩故事的同时，亦能提升英语阅读水平，音频下载方式详见图书封底博客链接。

这套《跟外教学小学英语》系列共分六册，对应国内小学1-6 年级，以全彩色大字号大开本印制，便于小学生翻阅使用。《跟外教学小学英语》每册书中所使用的词汇、语法点及训练话题，均源自相应年级不同版本的教材，这样学生学起来难度适宜，而且也能学到同年级其他版本里的知识。
作者凯伦·史密斯根据自身多年的英语教学经验，针对各年级教材中的学习要点与词汇量，编写出这套《跟外教学小学英语》完全适合中国学生的英语同步训练辅导书。作者的编写方式灵活、颇有创意，将知识学习、语言训练与趣味活动融为一体。其首要目的是激发孩子们学习英语的热情与兴趣，而不是死学硬背。希望通过这套《跟外教学小学英语》，孩子们能真正掌握英语语言学习的规律，高效提升英语水平。

【前言】
近些年，Holybird Publishing 策划出版了“西方原版教材与经典读物”数十种，这些书对许多英语学习者，尤其是准备出国留学的学生有很大帮助，得到了他们的认可。一些学校的英语老师还推荐学生作为课外读本。这一系列包括《美国语文》、《英国语文》、《Basic Readers》、《科学读本》、《美国少儿英语》、《美国学生历史》等。这些书以纯英文或中英双语形式出版，内容直接源于英语国家使用的教材与学生读本。让中国读者直接阅读这些原版读物，一方面可以让他们更加深度了解西方文化与社会背景；另一方面，帮助读者真正把握英语语言学习的规律，高效提升英语水平。
出版这些“洋书”的同时，Holybird 也一直在思考一个问题：如何为国内中小学阶段的孩子们学习学校的英语课本做点什么，让他们在应对学校英语考试的同时，真正培养语言学习的兴趣，奠定良好的英语基础，让今后的英语学习之路变得较为轻松容易。于是我们收集了中国不同省市所使用的小学英语课本，如人教版、外研版、清华版、牛津版等，与加拿大本地外教凯伦• 史密斯一起探讨，让她从一位英语母语者和ESL 教学者的角度，看看中国学生应该如何学好这些课本。
凯伦出生于加拿大，在英国获得英语语言教学的证书，在澳大利亚从事英语教学多年，并在乌干达做了八年志愿者，在当地学校讲授英语，具有丰富的英语教学经验，目前居住在加拿大美丽的维多利亚市。她对这一出版提议非常有兴趣，决定根据这些教材版本和其他教学资料, 按照中国小学英语的教学要求, 分年级编写一套学习指导书, 供中国小学生配套学习使用, 尤其是在每个年级结束之后，学生们可以作为系统回顾掌握每年级所学知识的检测读本, 为下一年级的英语学习打好基础，一步一个脚印。
这套《跟外教学小学英语》共六册，对应中国小学1-6 年级。每册所使用的词汇、语法点及训练话题，均源自相应年级不同版本的教材，这样学生学起来难度适宜，而且学到了同年级其他版本里的知识。作者的编写方式灵活、颇有创意，将知识学习、语言训练与趣味活动融为一体。
首要目的是激发孩子们学习英语的热情与兴趣，而不是死学硬背。书中的训练部分，也可供小学英语教师借鉴，在英语教学中吸收使用。此书可供小学各年级学生作为暑假集中训练英语的参考书，也可用于日常学习中配套的学习资料，做到活学活用。欢迎读者提出宝贵意见与建议。
