Workbook Cover
This printable booklet will be useful for students who are beginning to write simple sentences. Writing answers to the simple questions in sentences will help with word order and sentence construction. Passages are written mainly in simple sentences, so many answers can be lifted straight from the passages. This will help students to achieve success, gain a sense of achievement and build confidence in writing their own sentences in English. This is most suited to students at the Emergent/Consolidating stage of acquiring English as a certain level of comprehension is required. If students are literate in their home language, use of a home language dictionary could be used to aid comprehension of any unknown vocabulary. This booklet is also suitable for use with native English speakers.
The Wild Animals booklet has 10 pages containing information about the following animals:-
elephants, lions, camels, giraffes, tigers, zebras, kangaroos, hippos, rhinos and pandas

Because, the passages provide factual information, they are suitable for use with a wide age range.

Having taught English as an Additional Language (EAL) for many years, I am only too aware of the challenges facing EAL students when doing phonic work. This includes the difficulties when trying to hear or distinguish between sounds and problems when trying to reproduce sounds because of only learning the sounds of their first languages.
An additional hindrance to progress is that students are at times presented with phonic work resources without illustrations / pictures. In other phonic work resources, that do have illustrations, an additional barrier is that students sometimes have difficulty identifying items.
For this reason, I have used photographs where possible, so that items/ people are easily identified.
This booklet provides a combined approach of vocabulary building and teaching sounds through the use of cvc phonic words.
There are worksheets and games which provide opportunities for developing reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
There are:
• reference pages with words and pictures
• cut and stick letters to make words
• word completion worksheets for initial sound, middle sound, and complete word
Activities include:
• Picture and word matching
• Sorting words on a chart
• Snap cards with words
• Dominoes
• Board game
• I have.. Who has..? game (48 cards)
• Bingo games ( 15 picture base cards and 15 word base cards)
All worksheets, activities and games are designed to introduce, teach and consolidate the targeted vocabulary.
The targeted vocabulary contained in this book:
Cat, hat, bat, mat, rat, van, man, pan, jar, jam, bag, cap, car,
Hen, men, ten, pen, leg, net, peg, bed,
Zip, six, bin, fin, fig, lid, pig, bib, kid, wig, pin,
Dot, rod, box, fox, log, cot,
Jug, sun, gun, nut, hut, bus, mug, cup, bun
This is a printable book. As mentioned in the title, this resource is suitable for use with EAL / ESL / ELL students and native English speakers.
This ESL / EAL / EFL / ELD/ ELL printable/ photocopiable booklet contains worksheets and games designed for students learning English although it could also be useful for native English speakers. The worksheets will increase the reading and writing of everyday object vocabulary. Games provide opportunities for the development of speaking and listening skills and interaction with peers. The worksheets would be most suited to young emergent learners, although older students and even adults could use some of the games.
The vocabulary is introduced on three different reference pages. These reference pages can be used to support the completion of worksheets, thus enabling students to work independently. The resources are suitable for use with isolated learners and classes of emergent learners including EFL students.

It is much easier to explain the meanings of English verb vocabulary by using visual support and less time consuming for students if they don’t have to constantly make reference to a home language dictionary. Over 70 verbs are introduced in reference pages which can be used when completing the worksheets if verbs are unknown.
The verbs include:
arrange, bang, bark, brush, carry, chop, comb, cover, crack, dive, drag, drop, fasten, fill, fish, gather, glue, hammer, hug, juggle, laugh, lick, listen, measure, open, wash, paint, post, pour, prick, shampoo, snore, sneeze, spill, spray, stir, water, wave, wipe, whisper, yawn ,bend, blow, buy, cut, drink, eat, feed, ring, sing, slide, swing, write give ,hold, light
The verbs in the reference pages are presented in the present tense. The main focus is on increasing verb vocabulary and forming past simple and past continuous with both regular and irregular verbs.
There are worksheets with visual support and sentences to be completed with the appropriate verbs. Worksheets for matching irregular verb present and past words to the appropriate picture, crosswords, dominoes, present and past bingo (20 boards) and present tense I have…. Who has…? (71 cards) Present and past word matching cards are also included. Games and activities always make learning more interesting and fun.

Using this resource will help students with reading, spelling, pronunciation and possibly increase English vocabulary. Often resources for doing phonic work have words without pictures. This is not ideal for students who are learning English. All the words used in this resource have visual support, so that learning the sounds of a combination of two letters is incorporated with learning additional English vocabulary. As with most of my resources, reference pages are included so that students can successfully complete worksheets, play games and take part in activities. This enables students to work independently at times and builds confidence in using the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. When playing the dominoes game, naming the items and reading the words as cards are placed on the table helps with the retention of new vocabulary. This resource is printable. Laminating games is recommended.
The same vocabulary (listed below the contents) is used in the different tasks to reinforce the targeted vocabulary.
