Ready, Steady, Go… English for Pre 1, Second Term is the Pre 1 (Prep) English book at Army Public Schools & Colleges, ‘Based on the National Curriculum of Pakistan 2022’. Its units are numbered 5, 6 and 7 because it picks up where the first-term book stops. The Second Term book picks up at the letter m and carries the child through to z, adding phonics, grammar and early writing along the way. Available to order now for the 2027-28 session.
The cover shows a vine with bright flowers and a small ant (the mascot of the series), and a badge reading ‘Pre 1 Second Term’, with lines for name, section and school.
Full table of contents: Revision and Units 5 to 7
Entries are listed in book order with page numbers, exactly as on the contents pages.
Revision (page 1)
Why it helps: A one-page revision at the start reminds the child of the previous term’s letters and words before new work begins.
Unit 5: Healthy Habits (pages 5 to 40)

- Phonics – ‘sh’ words (p. 11)
- Use of ‘is’ and ‘are’ (p. 13)

- Reinforcement (p. 40)
Why it helps: Unit 5 teaches the letters m to r while building healthy-habit vocabulary. The first digraphs (sh, ck) and blend (br) teach how sounds combine, ‘is’ and ‘are’ give the child their first grammar rule, and adjectives and opposites (big and small, hot and cold) widen speech. Manners and picture description move the child from single words to describing a scene.
Unit 6: Animal World (pages 43 to 65)
- Animal World (p. 43)
- Words starting with letter ‘s’ (p. 45)

- Phonics – ‘ph’ words (p. 58)
- Masculine, Feminine (p. 60)
- My Pet (p. 63)
- A Farm (p. 65)
Why it helps: Animals give a rich theme for the letters s to v and for action words (run, jump, swim). ‘Masculine, Feminine’ introduces gender words (he and she, boy and girl), and the pages ‘My Pet’ and ‘A Farm’ are the child’s first short pieces of descriptive reading.
Unit 7: World Around Me (pages 67 to 92)
- People Around Me (p. 67)
- Words starting with letter ‘w’ (p. 69)
- Words starting with letter ‘x’ (p. 70)

- Foods We Eat (p. 88)
- Games We Play (p. 89)
- Story Books (p. 91)
- Nursery Rhymes (p. 92)
- Certificate (no page number printed)
Why it helps: The last unit finishes the alphabet (w, x, y, z), teaches question words (what, where, who, why) and ends with friends, foods, games, story books and rhymes. A certificate page at the very end gives the child something to be proud of at the year’s finish.
