I need some help
|
Hi my dear friends... It�s nice to be back. (I�ve been on holidays till 12-23!!! But now they�re over and I have to re-start...again!!!)
I will need your web-bank information today.. This year I�ll start a new challenge. I have to teach 3 different groups of 5-6 years old kids!!! They don�t read and write yet. So what I need is some theoretical background in order to plan my techniques for this year.
Any clue??
I�ll thank you a lot!!!
Hugs
Mercedes

If you are teaching initial reading skills, including letter rgecognition, sounds and eventually blending to make words, I would totally recomment a system called Jolly Phonics. Check it out in Google and look at their materials and methodology - it is an excellent system for helping kids master the basics of reading |

If your pupils already know their letters from their own language classes, like mine do, I give them a little booklet called "My words" like a little dictionary.
Each page is one subject, such as:
Me
Colors
My Family (mother, father, sister, brother etc,)
pets
school
things in the classroom
pets
food
transportation
every day things.
Then lots of speaking - with repetition.
What is your name.
Lots of easy worksheets from ESL for reading/comprehension/coloring. (I have a few uploaded here)
And then short reading stories based on the words they have learned.
Lots of songs and chants too.
That is how I start my beginner classes up.
It seems to work well.
Hope this helps
