The Core Series is the starting point for all LST or FriendSpeak reading sessions. These four workbooks should be used in chronological order and assume that your international Reader can at least struggle through a basic conversation in English.
The Discover Series is your next step after the completion of the Core Series. These four workbooks are designed for deeper conversations and can be used in any order to build on your previous experience.
The Advanced Series is your final step after the completion of the Core Series and Discover Series. These four workbooks may be used in any order and assume a more advanced level of English, Biblical understanding, and a stronger relationship between the volunteer Worker and international Reader.
The Beginner Series is designed for beginner English-level Readers who are not ready to begin the Core Series, meaning they are not able to carry on a basic conversation in English. These two workbooks are designed to be used as curriculum in a small group or classroom setting.
