Description
Introducing ‘Level Up Your Language Skills 1’: the first in our new language learning series of practical exercises to help students in late primary school and early high school/middle school – and others who would benefit from working on their higher level oral language skills – to acquire higher level oral language and reading comprehension skills needed to succeed at school, at work, and in life.
In this resource, we employ evidence-based practical strategies to help students to understand and to use:
- high frequency homophones for comprehension and spelling;
- similes;
- high frequency academic vocabulary;
- cultural knowledge: parts of a symphony orchestra;
- metaphors;
- the idiom: ‘above board’;
- analogical reasoning tasks: A is to B as C is to D;
- sayings and proverbs: ‘Actions speak louder than words’;
- divergent naming skills for creative thinking; and
- language used in myths and legends: ‘Atlas carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders’.
All in all, 50-pages of fully scripted, no-preparation-needed, higher language goodness!
Made for Google Slides and in PDF. Suitable for smart boards and devices, and distance learning.
