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. There is a chart towards the end of the booklet for doing a class survey about pets and a page of miniature pets to be stuck on to make up the bar chart plus a survey results page to be completed by pupils when all the information has been collected.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Worksheets are available in either colour or black only.

This House Vocabulary Game is a particular favourite with both native English speakers and students learning English. In my experience, young students become very keen and enthusiastic about being the first to complete their base cards with the appropriate items belonging to their particular part of the house. Older students at the initial / emergent stage of learning English would also benefit from using this resource. There are opportunities for speaking, listening and reading. The game is for 2 – 6 players and is easy to play. Each player is given a base board. The small cards are placed in the middle of the table face down. Players take turns at lifting a card, naming the item then placing it on their base board if it belongs in their part of the house. If it doesn’t, the player then replaces the card in the centre of the table face down. The winner is the first to complete his / her card. Luck and memory are involved in success so the winner isn’t always the most able student. This could be one reason for this type of game being so popular. The base boards and cards have colour coordinated borders to aid with identification. The house scenes and items used are listed below. Kitchen kettle, cooker, sink, cooker, fridge, vacuum, iron, ironing board, washing machine Living Room coffee table, settee, lamp, armchair, rug, television, plant, clock, bookshelves Bathroom toilet, basin, bath, shower, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, shampoo Bedroom bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, dressing table, mirror, alarm clock, lamp, bunk beds, cot Garden lawnmower, tree, watering can, spade, gloves, wheelbarrow, rake, bucket, fork Garage tool box, gardening tools, paint pots, bicycle, broom, workbench, car, oilcan, tyre Included with this game are picture and word cards for learning the vocabulary used in the game.

Are your students needing to improve their English word order? These worksheets and the suggested follow up activity will help with both written and spoken sentence construction. The 17 worksheets provide illustrations with words provided, in a jumbled order, for making sentences to describe the pictures. Students have the opportunity to rearrange the words and write a sentence describing what is happening in each picture. An additional benefit to completing this task, is that English vocabulary can also be increased because of the use of the visuals depicting the activities to be described. There are 68 sentences to be completed and an optional front cover for use if the worksheets are to be made into booklets. Star Wars characters have been added to make the worksheets more appealing. A sheet for recording students’ completion of the sheets is included. Answer sheets are also provided, giving the option for peer correction.

When the worksheets are completed, a suggested follow up activity could be one student miming a selected action from the illustrations in the worksheets. The other students then try to guess what the student is doing. Depending on the levels of language acquisition, students can use the models of the ordered sentences to express verbally in a sentence what is being mimed, or just provide a one word answer. The student providing the correct answer then gets a chance to choose a different activity and mime to the class. This is usually a fun activity enjoyed by all.
