Word Bird's. Word Book. Teacher's Guide

This text is part of a vocabulary-based programme which pays attention to all four language skills. The whole programme consists of a students' book, a teacher's book and a listening/song cassette. It covers approximately 30 topic-based units, each covering four pages. Each unit consists of a presentation spread followed by a simple activity page (writing, drawing and colouring) and a listening page (simple dialogues and repetition activities) allowing practice and reinforcement of unit target language. Most units have an easy song, with a karaoke version so children can sing along too and practise difficult sounds and word combinations to music. The book can be used as a teaching tool in the classroom, not just as a reference book: the teacher's book contains ideas on how to use the material in the classroom, and short tests. The book includes approximately 1000 head-words and contains a bilingual word list at the back.
