In ‘Pets and their Homes’ there is a focus on helping pupils to learn and retain the associated vocabulary. At the beginning, there are pictures with the names of pets/homes written underneath so that pupils can refer to this when completing tasks, if vocabulary is unknown. The photocopiable / printable booklet offers a range of worksheets, activities and games to reinforce the targeted vocabulary. These include matching words to pictures (with the use of reference pages if required), cut and stick, sentence completion, writing a simple sentence to answer a question and following instructions to colour pets. All resources are supported by visuals which make it a very useful tool for EAL/ ESL/ pupils, or indeed native English speakers who are not secure in the targeted vocabulary. The selection of worksheets is suitable for children of different academic abilities. The games are Bingo, Dominoes and I have… Who has…? game and a board game. A set of the dominoes pieces could be cut in half and used for playing snap or matching words to pictures. This booklet provides supplementary material for a class doing a topic on pets or it could be used alone to teach some vocabulary associated with pets. The vocabulary building worksheets provide opportunities for EAL/ESL pupils to develop reading and writing skills, experience success and build the confidence essential for learning a new language. The games give pupils the chance to develop listening and speaking skills and encourage integration with peers. For maximum benefit to pupils when playing games,, pets/ homes on the cards should be named when they are placed on the table. Other players can then help if vocabulary is unknown. Most pages have a self- assessment facility i.e. colouring a star a particular colour depending on how well the pupils thought they had done. The vocabulary included is:- horse, cat, dog, fish, budgie, lizard, hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, stable, basket, kennel, tank, bird cage, aquarium, hamster cage, guinea pig cage, hutch, bone, whiskers, mirror, wheel, a big tank and wheel.

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.

Game (2-6 players) The aim of the game is to get the most sets of verbs. (A set consists of the present, past and past participle of one verb.) Mix the cards. Each player is dealt 9 cards and the remaining cards are placed face down in a pile in the middle of the table. The top card is turned face up and placed beside the pile on the table. Players look at their cards. If they have a set, they place that on the table. (This counts as 1 point) The player(s) then draw cards to make up 9 cards in their hands. The person on the left of the dealer starts, he/she can either pick the card that is turned over or take the top card. He/She then has to discard, so that he he/she always has 9 cards. If the player can make a set of 3 cards, he places the set on the table.(As soon as a player thinks he/she has a set, it is suggested that players show their sets to other players to ensure that the set has the correct verbs.) He/she must then draw cards from the pile to maintain 9 in his/her hand. Continue play until the pack on the table has been used. Then turn the pack over and start using the cards again. When all cards have been used from the table, players then take turns to select an unseen card from the player on their left. This continues until all sets of verbs has been made. The winner is the player with the most points or sets.

This game can be used to teach colours and colour words to students new to English and even native English speakers. The cards are dealt out. Each player takes turns at placing the cards. While doing so, the player names the colour and can be corrected by other players if an error is made. If the colour on the card laid is the same as the previous card, the player says' snap' and takes the pile of cards that has built up on the table. A time limit can be put on playing the game. When time is up the winner is the person with the most cards. If players are unsure of the name of a colour, they can be encouraged to sound out the word. Even if only the first sound is known, this provides a clue to the name of the colour.

Alphabets boats is a fun way for students to learn the upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet. This could be used with EAL students and would be particularly useful if the student’s home language has a different script. Resources designed for EAL students are of course suitable for use with all students. The activity involves matching the lower case letters with the uppercase letters which are displayed on the boats. There are two sets of lower case letters. One set is in colour and colour coordinated with the boats. The other set is in black and for use when students are more competent at completing the task with the coloured letters. If this is given as an individual task to a new arrival, the reference page ( displaying upper and lower cases side by side) will enable students to successfully complete the task. For a student new to English, this also allows time out from listening to a language which he/she doesn’t understand and it is a useful activity which can be successfully completed. If this is done as a group activity, there is a lot of scope for discussion and reinforcement of colour vocabulary plus the opportunity for students to learn from their peers. E.g. Do you have a green letter? Do you have a light blue boat? Can I have the purple boat? etc
