Introduction

Welcome to the course

First Friends is a two-level course for kindergarten or pre- primary children It is an engaging introduction to English which uses a range of activities, games and songs that motivate and help young learners to succeed in English

The course is based on the principle that all children want

to learn and can succeed in learning First Friends provides children with a useful, age-appropriate vocabulary, basic

structures, and the tools to develop solid literacy and

numeracy skills These are presented through entertaining and interesting characters who introduce the children to English through games, songs and stories

Objectives

The key objectives of First Friends are:

* To develop language skills that will give children a solid

foundation in English for their primary education © To develop a basic understanding of and ability to use

English in meaningful, age-appropriate contexts To foster a positive attitude toward learning English

¢ To present the names and sounds of all the English letters so that children become familiar with the English alphabet

Characters

Four lively characters introduce children to the world of English They also model good behaviour

Baz is a four-year-old boy in his first year of kindergarten He is good-natured and kind He does not always do the right

thing, but he tries his best Many of the children will identify

with Baz as he tries to learn new things

Tess is Baz’s sporty and fun older sister She is seven years

old, She is eager to guide Baz and is forgiving of his mistakes Pat and Jig are the children’s stuffed animals They represent

the pretend world of the child When Pat and Jig are with the

characters, they are soft plush toys, but when they are on

their own, they have their own adventures in an imaginary toy world Pat is sometimes a bit naughty, but earnest

Jig keeps 4n eye out for him Through their stories and adventures, Pat and Jig help to develop children’s creativity

and look at the world in a new way

In addition to these four main characters, Tess and Baz’s two-year-old brother Adam appears throughout the course

He is the baby of the family, and both Tess and Baz delight in taking care of him Baz especially enjoys beirig the older brother Towards the erid of the first level, Tess's cousin Mira

is introduced She is quiet and shy She appears in Level 2, along with Baz’s outgoing new friend at school, Sam

introduction

Components

Class Book

The Class Book is colourful, lively and easy to use It is the

main course component It contains the vocabulary, stories,

songs and games that will enable children to achieve the course objectives

Each page of the Class Book corresponds to one lesson There is a small box at the top of each page that indicates

the activities for that page This helps you to see what each

lesson is about Each instruction in the box corresponds to a section in the teaching notes for that lesson The information in this box is not intended for the children

The icon 9) indicates that there is an audio component for that activity, and the number following the icon is the CD

track number

Activity Book

The Activity Book provides practice of the material introduced in the Class Book Each Activity Book page follows up on the material presented in the corresponding Class Book page

The Activity Book is the main pencil and paper practice of the course The Activity Book develops children’s reading, writing, numeracy, language skills and fine motor skills through a variety of fun and motivating activities It also incorporates oral language development as many of the

activities include a‘Say’ component The activities are easy

to do, underscoring the course philosophy that all children

want to and can succeed, Thus the activities may be set up

in class and completed at home

The Activity Book also contains a review lesson for each unit, which consolidates the main literacy, numeracy and

vocabulary content of the unit It may be done in class as

consolidation or preparation for a progress check It may also

be done at home for review

At the back of the Activity Book are some extra resources: at Level 1 there is a Picture Dictionary, cut-outs of the course characters, and a page of all the song lyrics; and at Level 2 there is a numbers spread, a writing grid, a craft activity and a page of ail the Level 2 song lyrics

The Level 1 Picture Dictionary can either be completed

after each letter is introduced, or used for home study, for

example during the holidays

The Level 1 cut-out characters can be used where

appropriate to act out the dialogues in class Children can

either hold up a cut-out (instead of the flashcard of the

character) or you could make some character badges (by sticking the cut-outs onto cardboard and sticking safety pins

on the back) which children could wear during role-plays

The Level 2 numbers spread is used to consolidate numbers 1-20, both numerals and written forms

The Level 2 writing grid can be used for any extra writing practice the children need, for example extra practice of any

Trang 6

The Level 2 craft activity (making a beach umbrella)

consolidates the colours that children have learnt

The page of song lyrics (both levels) is given as a resource for parents so that they can remind their children of the song lyrics if they wish to This can be used at home, in conjunction with the children’s MultiROM (see below) to sing and enjoy the songs from the course

Maths Book (optional)

The Maths Book provides additional numeracy practice It combines traditional numbers activities, such as counting and writing numbers, with engaging puzzles and games and fun activities

By the end of Level 1, children will be able to: * write the numbers from 1 to 20

* count objects to 20

* carry out simple picture additions and sums © group objects to 20

identify number sequences

By the end of Level 2, children will be able to: ¢ write the numbers from 1 to 100

¢ write the words for numbers from 1 to 30

* count objects to 100 * group objects to 100

¢ carry out sums

¢ identify more complex number sequences

The Maths Book is a flexible and easy-to-use component of First Friends Its lessons may be done at any point in the unit

The Maths Book is also based on the premise that all children can succeed, and therefore offers easy-to-do activities that can be completed in class or at home No new vocabulary

is presented through the Maths Book All counting and number work is done through known vocabulary, with a special emphasis on the vocabulary presented in the corresponding unit of the Class Book There are complete

notes for each Maths Book activity at the end of the main

notes for each unit in the Teacher's Book

Teacher's Book (TB) ˆ

The Teacher's Book is clear and easy-to-use It provides notes to cover up to eight teaching sessions per week (when

all components are utilised fully), but if fewer sessions are available, the material can easily be adapted to fit, for

example by omitting the Maths Book activities

You can see at a glance the objectives and materials needed for each lesson There is always a suggestion for a warm-up

activity, which is followed by notes for the core activities

listed in the Class Book and corresponding page of the Activity Book Most lessons contain an optional activity should you want to give your children more practice or have

extra time Following the six core lessons of the Class Book,

there are notes for the Activity Book Review page of each unit as well as complete notes for the Maths Book The TB also contains a wealth of photocopiable material This consists of progress checks, phonics practice and {at Level 2) numbers practice The photocopiable material augments the material in the Class Book and Activity Book It contains games and other fun activities as well as further pencil and paper practice of key concepts

There is a one-page progress check for each unit (pages 94-103) {n addition, there is a two-page mid-year and two- page end-of-year progress check (pages 104-107)

The phonics practice photocopiables (pages 110-118)

consolidate the letter forrns and sounds in Level 1 through a

variety of games and activities In Level 2, this is expanded to include practice of word families

Page 119 (TB1 only) contains a writing model for the English alphabet, showing the starting points and direction of the pen strokes for each letter

The photocopiable material is clearly labelled and organized by unit so that you know when it is appropriate to use There are also separate teaching notes for using the photocopiable pages (see page 108)

CDs

The Class Audio CD at each level contains all the audio

material for the course, including all the new vocabulary, dialogues, songs and stories, The recordings feature only native speakers of English and expose your children to accurate and authentic models of presentation This CD is for use by the teacher in class

MultiROM

This can be found at the back of the Class Book It is to be used by the individual child at home to consolidate learning

The MultiROM contains:

® audio recordings of all songs (including Phonics and Numbers songs)

* animated review stories

* interactive vocabulary practice activities

iTools

Oxford iTools is software that allows teachers to present and manipulate course content in an interactive way It can be used either on an interactive whiteboard (IWB) or on a projector The Class Book pages can be viewed on screen and are synchronised with their corresponding pages in the Activity Book so that teachers can move easily between them interactive iTools activities include animated stories and vocabulary practice activities, The interactive audio

player also appears on screen

Resource Pack

At each level there is a Resource Pack containing a wealth of

flashcards and posters to support teaching in class:

Flashcards

Flashcards are an important teaching tool, and they are used in the majority of lessons in First Friends They are used to present new vocabulary and letters, to conduct other activities and games, to check answers, and to act out dialogues and songs The lesson notes give advice on how and when to use them Each flashcard is numbered and

each lesson specifies which flashcards are needed

Level 1 has 124 flashcards:

98 Vocabulary flashcards with pictures of all new vocabulary 26 Phonics flashcards with pictures of one of the phonics words for each letter

— | Ị ị L Posters

There is a poster dedicated to each of the stories in Levels 1 and 2 of First Friends You may wish to use these posters when you teach the stories You can stick the poster at the front of the room and ask children to describe what is happening in each picture before they listen to the story on the CD Leave the poster for visual support as children act out the story If you prefer, use the posters to decorate your room At Level 1 there is also an attractive alphabet poster, which

can be used to revise the alphabet and vocabulary, or simply

to mark the progression of how many letters have been

introduced so far

Course structure

Each level of First Friends consists of 10 units

Each unit has six core lessons comprised of a Class Book and an Activity Book component The Activity Book offers an additional page of review practice, which can be combined with the Maths Book or photocopiable material

to make a lesson

For additional classroom periods, there are six Maths Book lessons, which can be used at any point during the unit This material is very flexible It can be used in class over one or two lessons or set up in class and assigned for home practice,

In addition, most lessons offer an optional activity The notes for the optional activity are at the end of each lesson in the Teacher's Book The optional activities provide extra practice and consolidation of what has been taught in the main Class Book / Activity Book lesson They do not present new language or vocabulary, They can be used if you have extra time or if you feel your children need extra practice on a particular language item

+

Topics

First Friends is a topic-based course Each unit is centred on a different topic This reduces the cognitive load on children since vocabulary is presented in meaningful groups

or word families “

The topics chosen are relevant to kindergarten children and reflect their lives As a result, they reassure, interest and motivate the children in the classroom

Level 1 includes topics such as toys, clothes, food, family and the body Level 2 includes topics such as school, feelings, actions, home, fufniture, holidays, jobs and wild animals

Cross-curricular features

The benefits of English instruction can be maximized by linking it with other parts of the curriculum First Friends connects to other curricular areas in many ways In both levels, children do cross-curricular craft projects which link with nature, social sciences, art and maths, In Level 2, Explore reading texts are introduced which familiarize the children with a range of fun cross-curricular topics through the medium of English

Creative links are also promoted through the development of musical skills, including awareness of melody, rhythm and rhyme

Values and Everyday English

First Friends recognizes that language instruction presents

an opportunity to reinforce values such as cooperation,

teamwork, health and respect for others The photographic values pages present useful, functional language within the context of social values These lessons model gocd social behaviour in situations that are relevant and familiar to young children The dialogues, stories and illustrations also provide opportunities to address such values

Unit structure

The simple and reliable unit structure makes First Friends an ideal course for experienced and novice teachers alike Novice teachers can build confidence and rest assured that

they are developing sound teaching skills while using the

material Similarly, more experienced teachers who are more confident and adept in the classroom can expand upon the

solid framework provided

Each unit has a one-page-per-lesson format, and each page / lesson has a specific role in the unit This format is consistent across Levels 1 and 2

Class Book structure

The first two pages of each unit of the Class Book depict a lively scene involving the course characters These pages are used to present the target vocabulary and structure in context They provide two lessons of material

Lesson 1 is devoted to vocabulary, where there are typically ten new words for children to produce Lesson 2 presents the key language structure of the unit in a dialogue format The dialogue uses the structure in a natural way and is humorous so that children remain engaged as they are exposed to the new language

Lesson 3 of each unit is for Phonics, and it provides material for literacy development, the alphabet in Level 1 and further

phonics practice in Level 2 First Friends is carefully crafted so that children are not overwhelmed by too many new letters or phonic activities at once There are never more than three new letters presented in any one unit of Level 1 Similarly, in Level 2, there is never more than one core word family See page 8 for a description of word families and the phonics approach

Lesson 4 focuses on values and everyday English A dialogue using everyday English models good social behaviour and is illustrated photographically Functional language related to the unit topic is presented and practised here

Lesson 5 of each unit is devoted to numeracy, which is presented in Level 1 in conjunction with a song Children learn the numbers from 1 to 20 Level 2 presents the numbers up to 100 and focuses on basic Maths skills such as

pattern practice and sums

Lesson 6 is the story lesson Each story is a simple four- frame story which features the course characters or other characters in humorous, creative or thoughtful situations The story text appears in speech bubbles; children are not expected to read all the words, but their

appearance raises children’s comfort with the written word

in preparation for the reading of simple sentences, which is encouraged in Level 2 Children do not encounter any new language in these stories

Activity Book structure

The Activity Book mirrors the transparent structure of the Class Book The first and second pages reinforce the vocabulary,

and where possible, the structure introduced in the unit In some cases, further phonics practice is provided to prepare for the next lesson The third page provides written practice of the letter or letters introduced in the Phonics pages The fourth page reinforces the values taught in the unit, and the fifth page provides written practice of the numbers of the unit The sixth page has activities which enable the children to practise the language and concepts of this and previous units before the review of the main literacy and numeracy concepts on the seventh page

The four skills

First Friends develops the four language skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing

Speaking

Children speak in every lesson Speaking activities represent a wide range of formats, including listen and say, question and answer, role plays and communicative speaking Pronunciation is also addressed through songs and the Phonics pages Attention is also given to techniques for pronouncing specific sounds that present problems for speakers of various languages, e.g p and b

First Friends uses the International Phonetics Alphabet for pronunciation models See page 9,

Listening

Listening is an important skill for young children, and itis likely that a number of your children will begin to understand with confidence before they are able to speak with confidence

From the outset of First Friends, children’s listening skills are developed Children listen to the dialogues and stories in each unit The teaching notes always give suggestions

for questions to ask your children about what they hear

Children are more likely to pay attention and focus if they

know you will ask thern about it

Reading

First Friends teaches reading primarily using the phonics method See below for an explanation of phonics

In Level 1, children will:

¢ learn the left to right progression of English

« learn the sounds of the letters of the alphabet

e learn to recognize the letters of the alphabet in both

lower case and capital letter forms

¢ learn the names of the letters -

* learn to identify the starting sounds and letters of words

learn to read high frequency words (e.g colours) through

the ‘Look and say’ method

¢ learn to read and identify the digraph sounds represented

by th, sh and ch

learn to blend simple phonic words in families with CVC (consonant - vowel - consonant) patterns

Introduction

¢ learn to identify vowels ao

¢ learn to read high frequency words (e.g numbers and

additional colours) through the ‘Look and say’ method ¢ gain experience in following written text as it is heard

Writing

Writing is very controlled in First Friends A controlled approach to writing helps to ensure that children’s handwriting is neat and legible It also helps to ensure that children form letters correctly at the print stage so that they are able to make the transition to joined-up handwriting

easily, Writing is limited to the letters of the alphabet and

simple words

* do activities which reinforce the left-to-right direction of English writing

* do activities which develop fine motor control * learn to write the lower-case and capital forms for all

letters of the alphabet * learn to write simple words In Level 2, children will:

* practise writing the letters of the alphabet ¢ learn to write simple words

¢ develop further their pencil control and fine motor skills

Literacy development: phonics and ‘Look and say’

First Friends adopts a phonics approach to literacy development

The phonics approach is based on the letter / sound correspondence, In other words, each letter has a primary sound which enables the reader to decode or read the word

For example, the word cat consists of three letters (c, a, t) and three sounds (/k/ /ee/ /t/) If the reader understands the

correspondence of the letters and the sounds, he or she is

able to decode or read cat Thus, knowing the letter sounds

is extremely important, and is more important than the letter name, However, in many countries, letter names are also important There are parental and cultural expectations that children should know the names as well as the sounds of the letters As a result, First Friends teaches both the letter name and the letter sound

In order to make the learning process easier and more enjoyable, First Friends uses a phonics song, The phonics song is used for each letter and it sets the letter name, its sound, and the phonics exemplar words to a memorable

tune Children only need to learn the song melody once so

that they can focus on the letter in future

In Level 2 the phonics instruction is expanded to include word families Word families consist of simple consonant- vowel-consonant words that have the same vowel and

final consonant, e.g cat, hat, mat, Pat Children apply the

letter sounds learnt in Level 1 to read these words There is one word family for each of the five vowels (-at, -et, -ig, -op, -un) Word families also provide an opportunity to develop thyming skills, which can help children to become more

attuned to the sounds and patterns of English

Trang 10

a are set to a memorable tune, and the same melody is used

for each word family Again, children only need to learn

the song melody once so that they can focus on the word families more easily

Although the phonics method can provide a solid foundation in decoding words, it does have disadvantages Some words cannot be decoded simply by blending their constituent sounds, e.g blue, one, two, the, etc For this reason, First Friends also uses the ‘Look and say’ (or'Whole word’) method In the ‘Look and say’ method, children are shown the word and are taught to associate it with its meaning An example of this in First Friends is the teaching of the colours

Children are shown the flashcard for b/ue and its written

form, They are taught to recognize the word and associate it with its meaning Phonetic key A - fe/ - apple N—/m/~ nút B-/b/- bird O -/p/ - octopus C-/k/ - cat P —/p/ — pink D -/d/ - dog Q-/kw/ - queen E-/e/-egg R-/r/ — rabbit F-/#/- fan S -/s/—sun G -/g/ - goat T-/t/-ten H -/h/- hand U~/A/ - umbrella |-/t/ - insect V-/v/-van J = /d8/ - jump W — /w/ — water K-/k/- kite X —/ks/ - box L- ñ/ - lemon Y -/j/ - yellow M - /m/- moon Z~1z/- zebra

Level 2 reviews all sounds learnt in Level 1 The emphasis in Level 2 is on word families with the same vowel and final consonant: feet/ — cat fet/ - jet fig! - dig /np/ - mop /An/ - sụn

Level 2 also introduces digraphs These are letter combinations that have their own sound: th -/0/ - thumb ` sh -/f/- sheep ch -/tf/ — chair Characteristics of young learners Intellectual development

Kindergarten-age children are beginning to use logic to

understand things they have experienced, seen or heard However, they are not able to understand abstract rules

or logic As a result, abstract concepts and grammar are not taught overtly at this stage Terms such as singular or plural are not used, and you will not find instructions to give grammar rules in the teaching notes For example, when plurals are introduced in Unit 4 of Level 1, the notes avoid

instructions such as ‘to change a word from singular to

plural, add the letter ~s to the end: The concept of plurals is taught using real objects, e.g pens, and drawing children’s attention to the difference in the way the words pen and pens are said

Attention span

Young children have very short attention spans They focus on here-and-now activities that are lively and fun Their attention span can be maximized when visual stirnulus is present With

this in mind, First Friends often recommends that flashcards be

stuck to the board and remain there for support

In order to keep the children engaged, do not spend too much time on any one activity, It may be beneficial to leave an activity unfinished in order to maintain class attention

You may also find that slowing down the pace or

quickening the pace of your lessons will add variety and keep children interested

Sensory input

Everyone has a different learning style or preferred way of learning Auditory learners prefer listening to the CD or the teacher Visual learners prefer looking at pictures Tactile learners take in new information by touching and doing

First Friends has a variety of activities that address the

learning preferences of all children There are opportunities to listen to stories and songs on CD, talk about pictures and posters, and act out role plays

Fine motor skills development

Fine motor skills are still developing in young children They are just beginning to use their hands and fingers for activities such as writing and drawing These actions require coordination and control, which most young children typically do not possess As a result, the handwriting and drawing of young children is often larger or malformed It is important to recognize that such characteristics are a normal part of all children’s development

To assist in the development of fine motor skills, First Friends includes numerous tracing and drawing opportunities Activities which require children to trace lines as they reinforce their new language skills are an important part of their coordination Similarly, colouring activities help children to control their pencils

Itis very important to encourage children in their writing, tracing, copying and drawing Do not worry if children are unable to trace, write, draw or colour neatly These skills will emerge during their primary years

Affective developmental factors

Not all children will be able to respond to you from the

beginning of the year Some may need a silent period in which they acclimatize to the new experience and absorb the language around them without being required to produce it

Do not push children to speak if they do not feel

comfortable Some activities involve calling children to the

front to sing or act Choose children who are willing and

eager to perform in front of the whole class

Furthermore, young.children flourish with praise It raises their confidence and gives them positive reinforcement

Therefore, always praise correct responses and avoid harshly criticizing incorrect ones You may simply say, ‘That's almost right Try again:

10 a General teaching procedures Introducing language

The teaching notes give suggestions as to how to introduce all new language in each unit However, you may wish to introduce language in other ways, for example, using real

objects, pictures from magazines, or other means

Teaching Phonics activities

The lesson notes contain step-by-step instructions for

introducing each letter

Level 1: Letters and sounds

The general procedures are as follows:

¢ Introduce the letter with a word beginning with that letter using a flashcard, a real object, etc,

e Write the letter on the board Point to it and say the letter

name, its sound, and the name of the exemplar word * Children repeat the word chorally and individually ¢ Repeat with the capital letter

* Tell children that they are going to learn how to write the letter

¢ Stand with your back to the class as you use your finger to ‘write’ the capital form in the air Write the letter exactly as it is presented in the Class Book (you may also wish to refer to TBI page 119),

* Tell children to copy your action and write the capital letter

in the air Check that they are forming the letter correctly ¢ Repeat the procedure for the lower case letter

¢ Tell children to practise tracing over the letters in their

books with their fingers Level 2: Word families

¢ Introduce the word family with a word from the family using a flashcard, a real object, etc

¢ Ask children to tell you the first-sound of the word Write it on the board

¢ Repeat with the sécond and third sounds of the word

¢ Introduce another word from the family Repeat the procedure

¢ Underline the vowel and final consonant in each word to

draw children’s attention to the similarity

Teaching handwriting

Children need to be introduced gradually to handwriting Tracing in the air and in their books with their fingers is a valuable exercise The lesson notes contain step-by-step instructions for teaching each letter

¢ Draw writing lines on the board (you may wish to refer to TB page 109 for a model) Put dots on the lines to show the starting point(s) for forming the capital letter, Write the letter on the lines exactly as it is presented in the Class Book (you may also wish to refer to TB page 119)

* Tell children to practise tracing over the letters in their

books with their fingers

Introduction

¢ Children trace and write the letters with their pencils Check that they are holding their pencils correctly and forming the letters correctly

« Repeat the procedure for the lower case letter

¢ Draw more writing lines on the board Call children to the board to write capital and small forms on the lines Correct

as necessary

There is a photocopiable page of writing lines on TB page 109 so that you can give your children extra practice in

handwriting

Using stories

Pretending and playing are extremely important for young children Stories encourage and facilitate pretending and playing They enable children to use their imagination,

make sense of the world, and express their feelings and

thoughts Stories also give a natural context for introducing

and practising language Each unit of First Friends includes a dedicated story lesson In addition, Lesson 2 of every unit uses a little story to present the unit's key structure

How to teach stories and presentation dialogues

There are step-by-step notes tailored to each story and dialogue The general procedures are as follows:

¢ Establish the context for the story or dialogue by asking children questions about the pictures

e Ask questions which give key information These questions typically begin with: Who? Where? What? and Why?

¢ Children listen to the story or dialogue as they look at the

pictures in their books

¢ Call children to the front to act out the story Use props, e.g flashcards, real objects, etc to make it more fun If you feel your children are able to, have them hold the cut-outs from AB1 page 77 as they act out stories with the course

characters

Teaching songs

Children enjoy songs, rhythms and melodies As a result, these are an effective tool for teaching and practising language In addition to the phonics song, First Friends features at least ¬_ go : :

oñ additional song in almost all units At Level 1, many of these songs support the teaching of numbers

There are step-by-step notes tailored to each song The

gerieral procedures are as follows:

* Establish the context for the song by asking children

questions about the pictures

¢ Present any new language using real objects, flashcards, magazine pictures, drawing on the board, miming, ete ¢ Children listen to the song as they look at the pictures

in their books, You may find that it is easier to present the actions as children listen This often helps children to remember the language more easily

¢ Children sing along as they listen again

¢ Call children to the front to do the actions and lead the

Doing arts and craft

Arts and crafts are important for young children They encourage creativity and they also help to develop fine motor skills

Many teachers are reluctant to do arts and crafts because

they feel they are difficult to manage effectively To help

with this, First Friends includes craft activities that are easy to prepare for and do in the classroom The following are

general procedures to teach arts and crafts:

Try the craft activity before class so that you are clear about the materials and the procedures

¢ Before class, prepare for the craft activity by cutting out, measuring or grouping as many of the materials as you can Cover all work surfaces with paper or plastic ¢ During the lesson, give the instructions for each step of

the craft activity before you give the materials for that step to the children This will help children to focus on the instructions before they begin working

¢ Don't hesitate to modify the activity to suit your children’s

needs or the time available in the lesson

Assessment

First Friends provides for the continuous assessment of children’s language performance in that each unit has a photoecopiable progress check (see TB pages 94-103) In addition, there is a photocopiable mid-year progress check, covering Units 1-5 (see TB pages 104-105), and a final progress check, covering Units 6-10 (see TB pages 106-107) Assessment helps you:

more attention

* to monitor and follow the progress of individuals * to monitor the effectiveness of your instruction

* to give feedback to children, parents and other teachers

The progress checks are traditional paper and pencil

worksheets that cover the letters and numbers concepts of

each unit You can use the progress checks in different ways Children can do them silently on their oWn, as a more formal assessment, or you may allaw children to take them horne

and work on them over a period of several days

Regardless of the way you choose to use them, model the first item of each activity with the class Use one of the modelling procedures described in the unit notes, e.g copying an item on the board, etc

Although the progress checks are a good resource, you can

assess your children in other ways as well You can assess

their understanding and ability to speak English You may

also want to assess letter and number understanding orally

The First Friends photocopiable assessment form (see page 12) is intended for use in all units No two First Friends classrooms are the same, so the assessment form can be tailored to each teacher's needs

The lesson objectives are given at the start of the teaching notes for each lesson, Choose the objectives you wish to assess and write them in the box at the bottom of a

photocopy of the assessment form For example, for Unit 5,

Lesson 1, you may decide that the first two lesson objectives (to identify basic shapes and to identify colours) are the ones you would like to assess, Write this information in the box

at the bottom of the form Write the children’s names in the

first column (You may find it useful to write the children’s names on a photocopy, and then copy this again before filling in any objectives, so that you have a ready-made template for future assessment.) Each form allows you to assess up to eight objectives You can either use one form per unit, or copy an extra form if you wish to assess more than eight objectives in any one unit

You may not want to tell the children that they are being assessed as this may cause them to feel anxious

Assessment at the kindergarten level is informative rather than evaluative As such, children should not be given marks denoting excellence or poor performance The following marking system is suggested:

O = OK The child has met the objective,

E = Emerging The child has partially met the objective

N=Notat this time The child has not met any aspect of

the objective

How to carry out assessment in the classroom:

* Assess your selected objectives using procedures children

are familiar with, e.g hold up a flashcard and ask a child

What's this? The child responds It’s a triangle Snow the

child three different shapes Point to the triangle Ask /s ita

triangle? The child responds Yes it’s a triangle

* Vary the procedures slightly so that children do not repeat what the previous child has done However, be sure

that the procedures are consistent, i.e, they all require

production, or they all require receptive understanding * Inthe column for each objective next to the child’s name,

indicate the child's performance

* OnTB page 13 there is a photocopiable achievement certificate to give to pupils at the end of the year, or whenever they have performed well in class

Help your child with English &

Oxford Parents is a new website where your students’ parents can find out how they can help their child

with English They can find lots of activities to do in the home or in everyday life, Even if the parent has little or no English, they can still find ways to help We have lots of activities and videos to show parents how to do this

Studies have shown that practising English outside

the classroom can really hep children become more confident using the language if they speak English with

their parents, they will see how English can be used in

real-life situations and this can increase the students’

motivation

Parents can help by practising stories, songs, and

vocabulary that the students have already learned in the classroom Tell your students’ parents to visit www.oup.com/elt/oxfordparents and have fun helping

their children with English!
