EAL Vocabulary helps children with very little English to increase their vocabulary and to learn the basic words they need in their everyday lives. The themes covered are clothes, mealtimes and things in the classroom. The words used are those suggested to us by EAL and EFL teachers. In addition to the worksheets, there are a number of coloured game sheets which can be used for many language games. Previously available through Easylearn.
