During the last few days, I searched for Pack Back Gold as it was typed in the Ministerial Circular, but got no results! When I tried Backpack Gold and googled it, I found the hidden treasure! Although it was a minor mistake, (unless there's still another version under such a title!) it made us totally disappointed for days asking about any details on the texbook. The Saudi Edition itself is still in the publishing process and not yet released as I was told. Here's what I got for you regarding the BP G.
Reach into Backpack Gold for a richly illustrated, seven-level communicative-course that motivates primary learners and supports teachers. Backpack Gold is packed with child-friendly topics, catchy songs and chants, stickers, games, stories, hands-on projects, extensive reading and writing materials and TPR activities.
