Notes for the teacher

Get Ready! is  a two-level course which aims togive pupils a feel for English and to establish a

sound basis for later learning. Activi ty Book 1 isdesigned to provide further practice of thelanguage and the skills introduced in Pupil'sBook 1 and Handwriting Book 1.

Each level of Get Ready!  i s divided into sixty

steps. Each step in the Activity Book is onepage and it should not be used until pupils havecompleted the equivalent steps in the Pupil'sBook (one page) and Handwriting Book (half apage). Get Ready! also  has a Numbers Book foreach level. Each Numbers Book is divided into

sixty half-page steps intended for use after theequivalent steps in the Activity Book. Thesequence for a complete step is therefore asfollows:

Pupil's

Handwriting Activity Numbers

Oral Work

The Activity Book provides reinforcement of theoral work in the Pupil's Book. There are, forexample, 'Say and colour' activities whichrequire pupils to point to pictures and say thewords in a left-right sequence (e.g. Step 12).

Other 'Say and colour' activities involve pupilsin forming simple sentences about pictures (e.g.

Step 42).

The Alphabet

The sounds of the letters are taught in thePupil's Book, using the formula 'a' for apple, 'b'for boy etc. The 'Say the alphabet' exercises inthe Activity Book are used to teach the names ofthe letters (Steps 3-21), gradually building up

the alphabet as pupils learn the sounds of newletters through the Pupil's Book.

Reading

There is no 'real' reading in Get Ready! 1, but

pupils will learn to recognize letters of thealphabet, acqu ire left-right orientation and be

able to recognize some whole words. TheActivity Book provides a range of exercises toreinforce this and to associate letters with theinitial sounds of words.

Pupils are only expected to read the words orletters in large print. They look like this:

a red planeWords in small print are to indicate to theteacher the language the pupils should be usingorally. They look like this:

Jack has two balloons

Writing

Activi ty Book 1 provides opportunities for

colouring and drawing. These are important forthe development of motor skills. Activity Book 1also gives pupils extra practice in writing both

single letters and whole words. These exercisesare careful ly matched to the sequence in theHandwriting Book and it is important to use theActivity Book only when the equivalent step inthe Handwriting Book has been completed.

The A pproach

Although much of the work in the Activity Bookhas been designed for pupils to do on their own,the teacher should always demonstrate first ofall on the blackboard, explaining wherenecessary in the pupils' mother tongue. It is alsoa good idea to revise the language area beingpractised. The aim is for pupils to succeed andbuild up confidence about learning English.

This will not happen if they are insecure or ifthey feel that they are constantly being tested.

Get Ready!  Teachers Book 1 provides fullnotes on how to use each page of Activity Book 1.
