reading and writing skills in the first cycle of Primary Each page of photocopiable activities corresponds with one unit from the course material English Adventure Starter A and B The activities focus firstly on reading, and then on writing They are easy to carry out in class, needing little preparation beforehand The activity types have been specifically chosen to motivate the pupils, and display a gentle increase in difficulty as the material develops METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH The development of the reading and writing skills in English Adventure Starter A and B takes into account what the pupils have already been doing in their Kindergarten education, and centres around the following principles: Language input is basically oral input The written word is then introduced with the aid of visuals and/ or the language context The written word is not presented until the language has been presented and practised orally, to avoid first language interference The language that the pupils learn to read and write is the key target language and vocabulary of the course material 978-1-4058-4367-6_EA-R&W.indd 26/10/06 14:44:54 > Reading and Writing in English Adventure Starter A and B Starter A English Adventure Starter A centres on the recognition of the written word The pupils are expected to learn the key vocabulary of the unit, which can be seen at a glance in the Picture Dictionary pages 79-80 of the Pupil’s Book The eight core teaching units of the Pupil's Book consist of six lessons: • Lesson – presentation of new language, usually by means of a flashcard activity • Lesson – the new language items are revised and practised Related vocabulary may be presented • Lesson – Practise and extension: additional language items are taught, to be used in combination with those presented in Lesson • Lesson – presentation of a song linked to the unit topic Pupils then complete the corresponding photocopiable Evaluation Sheet pages T77-T91 of the Teacher’s Book • Lesson – cartoon story with dialogue recorded on audio CD or cassette featuring the key language of the unit • Lesson – conversation between real, English-speaking children Then a drawing activity allowing pupils to personalise what they have learned Further practice is given in the Activity Book and in the activity sheets provided in this booklet > Unit > Unit The pupils look at the monster and write
