These worksheets are designed to be used time and again with different books.
These are designed to be used in guided reading sessions. Many of the worksheets are designed in such a way that a student can complete them independently. However, to get the maximum out of this book, I would highly recommend these worksheets are used to consolidate the learning taking place in the classroom.
I hope you enjoy this book and that your students are inspired to take a more active, more motivated role in their own learning.
This comprehensive pack of worksheets is not linked to any particular book or reading scheme and can be used time and again with different books.
These worksheets can be used as a class, independently or in small groups. The worksheets are well laid out and colourful. They could also be used as homework sheets. I use them to assess how much a student understood a particular book before letting them to change their book.
These worksheets were designed by a highly experienced, motivated primary school teacher to make reading fun and provide an interesting focus to the reader. There are masks to make for plays, mind maps to extend a students thinking, and lots of chances for students to really shine.
As this pack has worksheets from Year 1 to Year 6, there is something for every reader. There are worksheets for fiction and non-fiction books. There are worksheets looking at stories and others focusing on poetry.

Welcome to the second Talk a Lot course book for Elementary level!
This book is a companion volume to Book1 and features ten exciting new lessons topics:
Crime, Sport, Music, Weather, Animals, Cars, The Human Body, Colours and Numbers, Life Events, and Nature. The lesson topics in this book can be used alongside those in Book 1,
•Complete 12-week spoken English course
•All materials, instructions and answers are included
•Brand new and unique learning method
•Learn and recall questions, answers and negatives using 8 common verb forms
•Learn 400+ essential vocabulary words
•100% photocopiable
A great new feature in Book 2 is the inclusion of information exchange activities.
Once again, the aim of this book is to teach students to think in English and Talk a Lot!
The Talk a Lot course objectives are very simple:
•Every student talking in English
•Every student listening to and understanding English
•Every student thinking in English, and
•Every student taking part in class
Talk a Lot is structured so that every student can practise and improve English grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, intonation, word and sentence stress, and interpersonal skills, by working in pairs, groups and one to one with the teacher.
The main benefits of Talk a Lot are:
•Students have to think in English during lessons in a controlled and focused way
•Students learn how to memorise correct English structures naturally, without abstract and unrelated grammar lessons
•Students learn how to construct eight different common verb forms, using positive, negative and question forms, as well as embedded grammar appropriate to their level. The verb forms studied are: Present Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple, Past Continuous, Present Perfect, Modal Verbs, Future Forms, and First Conditional
•Students learn 400+ essential vocabulary words by heart
•Students enjoy following a simple and effective method that produces results quickly
This book was originally a free public domain book but I have spent a lot of time removing hyperlinks from every page and making it into an editable book.
I created lots of different guided reading worksheets and ideas which work with any book you already have. These worksheets can be used time and again throughout the year or the reading scheme. Try them today!
Talk a Lot - Spoken English Course
A Great Way to Learn How to Really Speak English!
Intermediate Book 1
• Four full-length spoken English courses
• Over 200 hours of quality learning materials!
• Brand new and unique learning method
• Learn to use 8 essential intermediate level verb forms
• Learn real English – idioms, phrasal verbs, and slang!
• Practise using sounds, stress, and connected speech
• 100% photocopiable
As well as the teaching material for each course – around 45 hours in total – this book contains more than 100 pages of additional material which complements the course activities, for use in the classroom or for self-study at home.
This book is for students who are studying from intermediate level (B2/FCE) to advanced level (C1/CAE), although there will also be plenty of good material for students at pre-intermediate level. The main proposal of this book is that intermediate level can come as something of a shock for students who realise that, despite dutifully learning all the basic grammatical forms and vocabulary at elementary level, the English language remains just as unknowable as ever, thanks to the introduction – at intermediate level – of non-literal English
– i.e. idioms, phrasal verbs, and slang. Despite knowing plenty of words with their literal meanings, the goal of fluent communication retreats further into the distance, as the student begins to find coded language wherever they look – English that doesn’t make sense as they know it. For example, they may have learned the vocabulary words “cost”, “arm”, and “leg”, but do they know what it means “to cost an arm and a leg”? (To be very expensive!)
Talk a Lot Intermediate provides plenty of practice with these bewildering forms.
I have edited Levels 1 to levels 4 so there are now reading questions relating to every slide. I have mixed up all the original Thinking Hat colours and done away with black and white as I had teachers who felt these were not appropriate in a primary classroom and relaunched it all as Thinking Scarves - I hope you like the changes and leave me a nice comment below!
These books are great to share.

I lived and I worked in Qatar for a year. I know that while you need to teach about Qatar History, the books you are given are not easy to use and certainly won’t last you a whole year and so I took the books I was given and I extended the tasks to produce a more interesting and more supportive learning environment, ideal for both the teachers and their students to get a lot more out of this topic.
This Space bundle is out of this world! It is uses a huge number of different resources. It has images from NASA, English story writing prompts and the keywords students need to know about this topic. Try it today!
