Test Your Speaking & Listening Skills Return to Kangaroo Island How to use the ‘Map of Kangaroo Island’: The map could be used in several different ways: 1. The most obvious use is as a treasure map. Give learners a map and tell them that there is some buried treasure hidden in one of the squares. Each learner selects a square in turn. Tell them if the treasure is there or not. If it is not the right square everyone must put a cross through it. Keep going until someone guesses correctly. You could also add some forfeits in different squares – for example: ‘B5 – recite the alphabet backwards’, or spot prizes if you are feeling generous! Depending on time and how the game is going, give clues by saying whether the guess is ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ (near or far away). The aim of the game is to practise learners’ listening skills. Lots more other exciting ideas and a map!

Each new word throughout the program is repeated at least five times in the book in which it first appears and five more times in the next ten books. I See Sam Books are a series of early reader books developed to teach children in kindergarten to read. The original series, written in 1972, as part of Southwest Regional Educational Laboratory's (SWRL) Beginning Reading Program (BRP), contained 52 books. The first book in the series starts with just 3 words: I, see, Sam. Every book or two adds a few words, until by book 52, the readers have read 95 different words. The SWRL Kindergarten Beginning Reading Program was first implemented in U.S. public schools in the early 1970's. Due to its tremendous success at achieving its goal of teaching young children to read, over the years the program has been copied, edited and/or revised by a number of individuals, institutions, and companies.

Are you teaching your students about the colour orange. I have put together 30 high quality photos were the main colour in the image is orange. These make a great prompt for discussions about where you can see orange around you. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different orange scenes being shown. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about where we see orange in the world. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different sorts of orange. The students can then discuss how they decided on each type of orange. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing.
