I always add printable books to each unit to use with Elementary English language Learners.  Reading is a linguistic competence.All the books were tailored to meet the age and language level of the students. Another competence to include into your lesson plan is the linguistic as in reading short texts.

The House book has nice illustrations and with simple sentences to foster a positive attitude towards reading in the new language. The first illustration is a house shape that students will color in any way they wish, and cut it to create the book.

Have the students read the sentences and color each room of the house, besides gluing the family member in each one. As a teacher you can adapt the content, by having students add more sentences to each page.

 

Take a look of the book inside, already assembled:

There is another book to allow more customization based on their language proficiency. Students can add pictures of their family members or even draw them. Adapt the book to suit the needs of your learners and lead to a more personalize experience. The book template is aimed to reinforce the vocabulary in the house context.

Children love learning with interaction with materials. Print your books and let me know how your students liked them.

The result comes with a better comprehension and improvement of the overall language skills.

Ask them questions about the picture to stimulate writing and their imagination. The colorful pictures are age -appropriate and relevant to the vocabulary plus grammar for the house unit.

Board games involve the use of spaces with pictures. Students will say a sentence or phrase in order to move in the board to make it even more meaningful: Brother is in the bathroom.

Pocket charts for the house unit. This works well for your visual learners. They are useful for organizing the sentences in a clear and structured manner. Students can then write the sentences on their notebooks.

Adding a game, a Bingo to review the parts of the house: chimney, roof, door and window. Students choose one house, 1,2 or 3. Display the colors that are playing the game meaning that they can only color each part in those colors. Have the calling cards available.

 Start reading any house card and have the students mark if they it in their house: This house is number 1. It is a yellow house.  It has a green chimney, a blue roof, a pink window and an orange door.

In this case the student can mark the blue roof. They keep on marking their house. The student that marks all the parts or most of the them first, wins the game.
