Drawing help to deepen the understanding of the new words. It requires critical thinking as to how to represent it visually.

Expand the worksheet to other themes. Have the students cut the teddy bear and glue onto their notebooks or paper and label the parts of the face.

Reviewing a robot family allows students to simultaneously reinforce toy-related vocabulary and introduce or review family-related terms (mother, brother, etc).

Reading for Kindergarten EFL

 So much to read on this topic that can be useful to our particular English Language Learner that is in Kindergarten and learning to read their own mother tongue language and attempting to read another new language. I just gathered a few statements and tips to get you started. 

That's a picture of me during a read aloud activity at a local school many years ago. The editorial had these big books which are wonderful for big classes.

Teaching to read in English to these very young learners start with learning the sounds. Do you have the instruction for reading the sounds? Then, just fine. If you don't, then read a little about it to gain the knowledge to help your students as much as you can.

As I create the lesson plan, I put a big emphasis on listening and speaking activities, new vocabulary and using it along old vocabulary.  I also plan a reading activity for each unit as a book that students put together. It can be read in class and sent them home for the students to read with their parents. You won't have to worry about the book getting lost or damaged. Read the book that you made in class or any other that you have from your library. Here is an example of one of the books, you can reread the books over and over again.

                         This is how the big book looks inside.

It is important to show the students the pictures and ask questions, such as What is this? and show the print as you read, point to the words.  Many students are able to memorize parts of the story and encourage them to read with you. There is always a prediction part in each story, just point it out and have your students predict what will happen next.

                 Hope these tips will help you out in your class to understand and use the language.

Seasons and Clothes

This is the third part for the Seasons Product.  LINK:https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Seasons-Theme-Resources-for-Elementary-ESL-1744981

 Start by reviewing all the clothes vocabulary using the flashcards provided.

Have the students sort the people flashcards into each season.

                                       Teacher: What season is this ?

Students: SPRING!

Teacher: What is she wearing ?

Students: a t-shirt, a skirt and rain boots.

Teacher: What is this ?

Students: It’s an umbrella.

Teacher: When do you wear a scarf ?

Students: In the Winter.

Teacher: What do you wear in the Spring ?

Students: A raincoat.

                                            

Clothes Flashcards:

Have the students sort all the clothes flashcards into each season.

Have the students sort the clothes out on the worksheet.

And sort out along with the weather and Months cutouts from last blog post using the fries containers.

Seasons and Clothes Worksheets! The frogs again, but this time Seasons and Clothes.

This is how students should complete the worksheets of the clothes according to the season.

But, that’s not all, have the students cut and paste the frogs on their notebooks. Then, write sentences according to their level.

I put all the notebook writing together into a book!

I made it all into a video.

This is the second worksheet for the reading ring that I presented last blog post. The students color the worksheet and then cut the strips and place it in the book ring.

An extra worksheet.

Have the students create a Venn Diagram. Students work in pairs. Assign each student a Season in which they will write about the clothes that are worn on their side of the Venn Diagram. And they write in the center of the Venn Diagram the clothes that are common for both seasons. They will have to discuss on the clothes that are common and the ones that are not. Assign different combination of Seasons.

Winter-Fall, Winter-Spring, Winter-Summer, Fall-Spring, Fall-Summer, Spring-Summer. Have the students present the results to the class.

There are the four Seasons Scenes for the students to complete the weather and dressing the child that will be pasted there. 

Included are the symbols of each season. It can be done as a group work. The students can write a text or do a show and tell about their season.

After the Seasons Scenes are reading, students can do free writing and create a poster.

These are games that you can play with the Seasons Unit or any other.

Word chain. Write a Season word on the board, e.g. Summer. Then the students have to say a word with the last letter of the word Summer, e.g. rain. This is a good warm up activity.

Spelling Game
Put a Season flashcard on the board and have teams or individuals make as many words as possible from those letters, e.g. Spring = S/sun, P/pants, R/rain, ,I/I, N/November, G/gloves.

Then, students write sentences using those words.

There is another part for this resource: Seasons Nature and more Vocabulary.
