The Alphabet
"Box"!
Dopo il blog di supporto a tutti gli
insegnanti di inglese che lavorano con ragazzi della scuola media, la nostra
Elaine si rivolge ora in questa serie speciale a chi insegna ai bambini. Come al
solito, le "lezioni" di Elaine sono ricche di idee e di consigli pratici che
riusciranno certamente a rendere più gradevole ai bambini l'insegnamento
dell'inglese. Il pronunciatore di inglese ReadSpeaker integrato in ogni pagina
consente di ascoltare il testo premendo sul pulsante ASCOLTA IL TESTO. Inoltre è
possibile scegliere anche la varietà di pronuncia che si preferisce: inglese
britannico, americano, australiano, scozzese o indiano! Per operare la scelta
cliccare sul simbolo di ruota dentata quando il player è visibile.
This activity can be very rewarding. Prepare boxes by wrapping them withcolourful gift-wrapping paper. Write both the Capital and Small letter of each letter of the alphabet, one for each box. Now assign a letter to each child in the class. (If you don't have 26 children, you can double up on some letters, or place X Y and Z in one box). Every time you introduce a
new vocabulary word in English, when finished explaining the
meaning, give that word to the child with the initial letter of
the word. The child will then read the word out loud and then
place it in "his" letter box. When you have given the children
various words, each child can take his letter Box and take out
words and copy them on his "letter" list. This list should be
kept in a separate book binder, so that later pages can be
added. Occasionally the children can change boxes and then list the words from that New box. While noting the Alphabet displayed on a poster, they can see what letters they are missing. The aim is for each child to have all the letters of the alphabet listed with their appropriate words. (This obviously will be done over a period of time.) Having all the vocabulary words written in one place will be an advantage for them. We can make use of this book for creating independent activities. The teacher can ask the children to work in small groups and to try and illustrate as many words as they can, writing the word under their picture, or she can have them play the game "rhyming word hunt". One child can choose a word and ask the children if they have a rhyming word. Ex. Mary says the word "Bat" and shows the others her word. John will call out "Rhyming Word!", as he shows his word "Hat". This game should first be done with the teacher showing the children how to play and demonstrating what they should do. Later the teacher can add
other boxes for other vowel sounds. This will help the children notice the different sounds of these vowels. It's a good idea to always add some rhyming words so they can reinforce thethe pronunciation. We want to do all we can to have the children become more aware of words both written and spoken.
