Level 1 Teacher’s Book - Introduction

Smart Start 1 Components Student’s Book Welcome to Smart Start, a three-level English course for children aged between 3 and 5 which offers a fun and smart start for very young learners. The approach and philosophy of Smart Start is to nurture the growth of each individual child in terms of their language development whilst also nurturing their emotional, creative, mathematical and physical development as they move from nursery through kindergarten to the start of primary school. Smart Start is a high-level pre-primary course aimed at schools that teach 5+ hours a week of English. Specially developed to cater for all the different interests and learning styles of young learners, Smart Start aims to inspire children as they take their first steps in English language learning.

Objectives The key objective for a pre-primary course is that children enjoy their first educational experience and keep their natural motivation and enthusiasm for learning. Smart Start has many key features with this very much in mind: • interactive sticker scenes • catchy songs and chants with actions • fun comic-style stories to introduce new language • hands-on experiments and projects • engaging stories • language reviews in real-world settings featuring children from around the globe • many ideas for artistic expression and games • activities for building the Key Competences for lifelong learning

IV

Introduction

Young learners Pre-primary aged children generally learn quickly but often do not always retain what they have learned. New key language is introduced in every unit in lexical sets connected to themes and topics relevant and connected to young learners’ own world and experiences. The topics start close to home and school in Level 1 and gently take the learners into settings and experiences in the wider world around them by the end of Level 3. The words chosen are always high frequency, usually personalised segments of language which fit with the unit topic. The language taught is then recycled in subsequent units through the teaching notes and the language the teacher uses in class. As with all courses, a teacher needs to use a Teacher’s Book to best exploit the materials created in the student components but never more so than with preprimary. The amount of teaching in terms of language used is not expected to equal the amount of language that children produce. For this reason, the teacher is guided as to how to use and recycle language in class. Children in a pre-school class can differ in many ways such as age, energy, size, interests, adaptability, experience and familiarity with the world outside the home, emotional maturity, linguistic aptitude and physical development. It is not possible or realistic to expect the same outcomes for all children who use the course. Some children will learn more English than others; some children will be better at maths. As part of individualising the materials for children, teaching and learning activities are presented in such a way as to cater for different learning styles.

Course Characters

The engaging characters, Tom and Izzy (twin brother and sister), introduce children to the world of English and create a positive learning environment. Their adventures with their friends, family and adorable cat, Coco, contextualise the language in a fun and humorous way.

Level 1 Teacher’s Book - Introduction

Approach to Literacy and Phonics

Smart Start is a literacy and print-rich course designed to expose learners to environmental text from the moment they start their learning adventure. It is not expected that children read the word labels on the pages of the book, they are there only to expose children to the conventions of written English. With pictures and audio, children will build the understanding that text conveys meaning. When learning emergent reading skills in English, knowing the sounds the letters make is more important than knowing the letter name. In Level 1 the children learn that each letter has a sound. They are then introduced to the letter names. In Level 1 the key outcomes of the phonics strand are as follows: • The children are introduced to the idea of text and picture correlation, and will come to understand that text conveys meaning. • To understand the left to right and top to bottom directionality of English text. • The children learn the sounds and names of the letters of the alphabet. • To teach initial sounds of key vocabulary items in alphabetical order. • Pre-writing skills are developed through colouring, tracing and line drawing activities. Good posture and writing grip are encouraged from the start. In Level 2 the children explore the letter sounds and are given different strategies to help them begin to ‘decode’ and ‘read’ at word level. The methods used are based on the Synthetic Phonics approach where each letter is given its most frequent sound. The sounds are then built up to make words. This approach is used with very short words with predictable sound patterns with Consonant-

Vowel-Consonant (CVC) structure. These are known as ‘decodable’ words as children can sound-out each letter sound (segmenting) in turn and then blend them to make the word, e.g. /k/ /æ/ /t/ once decoded reads as c-a-t. As anyone who has learned English knows, not all English words follow the rules of one sound per letter and most words are not de-codable following these principles. Because of this, children are also given strategies for reading longer and non-decodable words. They are taught initial sound recognition for longer words, usually nouns or adjectives which can also be supported by illustrations. Children are encouraged to use the initial sounds and supporting artwork to ‘guess’ the word. Finally, for words that are neither de-codable nor able to be supported by artwork such as pronouns, connectors and articles, children are taught a sight word system. The sight words are very high-frequency words that children are taught to recognise by sight. In Level 3 the children are introduced to two-letter consonant and vowel sound combinations (diagraphs) in frequency order. They use these new sounds in combination with the sounds from Level 1 and 2 as building blocks to sound out and blend new words. They also continue to learn sight words and apply strategies such as pictures, context and initial letter, as well as sounding out, to read unknown words.

Phonetic Key A /æ/ apple B /b/ bed C /k/ car D /d/ dog E /e/ egg F /f/ fish G /g/ goat H /h/ hat I /I/ Izzy J /dZ/ jam K /k/ kite L /l/ lion M /m/ mouth N /n/ nose O /Å/ orange P /p/ pink Q /kw/ queen R /r/ rabbit S /s/ socks T /t/ T-shirt U /ø/ umbrella V /v/ violin W /w/ window X /ks/ box Y /j/ yellow Z /z/ zebra

In Smart Start we use fun phonics chants and engaging and attractive artwork to present the words and sentences to allow children to explore and enjoy their early reading experience. All the phonics methodology and strategies are based on the Letters and Sounds approach used in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in the UK. For more information and activity ideas see: www.govuk/early-years-foundation-stage.

Introduction

TOUR OF A UNIT Lesson 1 Vocabulary is presented through a scene featuring the course characters, twins Tom and Izzy, and their friends, family and their adorable cat, Coco.

On either side of the scene there are picture dictionary strips with the key vocabulary labelled. The words on the pages are for environmental exposure to the written language and are fully supported by pictures and the audio. They are not supposed to be read by the children but you can highlight any initial letter sounds of the key vocabulary that the children have already learned.

Lesson 4 TOUR OF A UNIT These are CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) projects where children explore the unit theme and language through science, arts and crafts and social studies by carrying out a practical task. Photos of children are used to model the project and the lesson notes support the teacher to set-up and undertake the project in class. The activities are easy to prepare and do in the classroom and don’t usually require detailed preparation. Drawing, painting, sticking, sorting skills that help to develop children’s fine motor abilities are practised in these lessons as well as communication, collaboration and critical thinking.

Level 1 Teacher’s Book - Games Bank Flashcard activities

Find the flashcard Revise vocabulary by playing a game with the flashcards. Hide the flashcards around the classroom. Play one of the songs or chants while the children walk around to find them. Ask them to shout the word out loud when they find the flashcard. Matching Put a few flashcards on the board. Put the flashcards of the numbers under these. Say the name of the flashcard and ask What number is it? The children say the number. Then reverse the procedure. Say a number and ask What item is it? Odd-one-out Put on the board a set of flashcards from one unit and one flashcard from a previous unit. Ask the class to identify the odd-one-out. Uncover the card Cover one of the flashcards with a sheet of dark paper. Show the covered flashcard and tell the class they have to guess what it is. Start moving the paper very slowly to uncover the card. Say What is it? If the children can’t guess, continue to move the sheet of paper and keep asking the question until they identify the flashcard. Yes/No activities 1) Choose a set of flashcards. Show the children one flashcard at a time and say one of the words at random, not necessarily of the object on the flashcard. The children shout Yes if the word corresponds to the card. Do this faster and faster to make it into a game. 2) Distribute the flashcards to some children. Then call out one word, the child with that flashcard runs to the board and sticks the card. Teach the class to shout Yes or No to confirm the answer.

Games Bank

3) Use the Coco puppet and Izzy and Tom cut-outs. Tell the children that you are going to make some statements. They have to shout Yes or No. Hold up the Coco puppet and say I am a cat. The class shouts Yes. Hold up Izzy and say I am a boy. (No) Hold up Tom and say I am a boy. (Yes) Continue with other statements referring to the target lesson. The class shouts Yes or No. More confident children may be able to correct the wrong statements. This fun activity is particularly suitable to the story pages.

Guessing games

A blindfold game Prepare some objects with recognisable shapes or smells (an orange, a ball, a pen, a carrot, etc.) and a box. Blindfold a group of children, ask them to sit down in a circle, give the box with one object inside to the first child and ask What can you smell / touch etc.? Do not confirm their answer, but ask them to pass the box to the next blindfolded child. Now it is the class turn to ask What is it? or What can you smell / touch etc.? Coco’s whisper This game is known to English children as Chinese Whispers. Put all the children in a line. Stand at the beginning of the line holding Coco. Tell the class that Coco is going to whisper a word in your ear and you will whisper it very quietly to the child standing next to you in the line. This child will whisper it to the next child and so on. The last child will say the word out loud, and it may not be the one you said! This is a fun activity and it can be used as a way of getting the class to calm down after some excitement: everybody will be very quiet in order to hear the word!

Guess the drawing Start drawing one of the items of the target vocabulary on the board, a few lines at a time, and encourage the children to guess what it is. Keep drawing until they have guessed. Continue with other items. If there are children with good art skills, call them to the board to take your role. Guess the flashcard Call one child to stand at the front looking towards the class. Position yourself behind the child and show the class one flashcard. The child should guess the flashcard by asking questions such as What colour is it? Is it an object or an animal? Can you see one in the classroom? Have you got one at home? I spy Teach the children the game I spy with my little eye something beginning with… and say the sound of a letter e.g. d (desk). Tell the children which category of words you are going to use, e.g. objects in the classroom, or people in the school, or pictures from the story pages, etc. The first child to guess has the right to continue the game suggesting a different letter. Miming You can ask individual children to mime animals, emotions, actions of the senses. Give the unit flashcards to some children. They mustn’t show them to the class. Each child in turn mimes what is represented on their card, the class has to guess and say the word. Continue with different children until everybody has had a turn. You can also do this in teams. Give each team a couple of minutes to agree on a mime for their flashcard. The other team wins a point if they understand the mime and say the word correctly. If they don’t, the first team scores.


Level 1 Teacher’s Book - Games Bank Picture bingo Ask the children to draw four or six items they have learnt in the unit. Now say the unit words in whichever order you want. If the children have a drawing corresponding to that word, they cross it out. The winner is the first child to cross out all their drawings. Watch my lips Revise vocabulary with this guessing game. Put some flashcards on the board and say that you will move your lips to say one word, but without making any sound. Shape one word with your mouth, exaggerating the movements. When the class guesses the word, take the flashcard off the board. This activity concentrates the attention of the children on the articulation of the sounds of English words. What’s in the bag? Put an object in a soft bag and call some children to touch it and guess what the object is and say the English word for it. This game is especially suitable for a lesson on school items or on food. What’s missing? Stick the flashcards on the board. Point to each flashcard and ask the children to say the word. Then tell them to close their eyes. Remove one of the flashcards and say Open your eyes. The children say which flashcard is missing. Alternatively, put the children in a circle and the flashcards face up on the floor. Let them memorise the position of the flashcards, then ask them to turn around so that they can’t see the cards. Take one card away, the children turn back and guess which card is missing.

Snap (a card game) Bring one or two packs of cards to class, depending on the number of children. The children sit on the floor in one or two circles. Choose one child in each group to deal the cards. Each child places their card face down in a pile in front of them. On their turn, each player turns over the top card from their face-down pile. When someone turns over a card that matches a card already face up on another player’s pile, the players race to be the first to call “Snap!”. The player who calls “Snap!” first wins both piles and adds them to the bottom of his facedown pile. The goal of the game is to win all of the cards. Pelmanism is a card game in which two sets of cards are laid face down on a surface and two cards are flipped face up over each turn. The object of the game is to turn over pairs of matching cards. It can be played just by two children or by as many as you want.

TPR activities

Blind man’s buff If you have access to a playground or a large room, you can have the class play this game. One child is blindfolded and tries to touch the other children without being able to see them. The others try to avoid him/her, and try to make him/her change direction by talking. They can say, for example, Can you see me? Can you touch me? The blindfolded child says No, I can’t or Yes, I can. Call a name The children hold hands in a circle and walk to the right. The teacher stands in the middle. They all say I like coffee, I like tea, I’d like George in with me. George then comes into the middle and the teacher asks Who do you want to call? Children: Sara. Teacher: OK, let’s all say: I like coffee, I like tea, I’d like Sara in with me. George goes out and it’s Sara’s turn to call someone.

Coco says This game is known to English children as Simon says. Use the Coco puppet to give an instruction, such as Coco says “Touch your nose”. Model the action of touching your nose and tell the children to do the same. Explain that you are going to give similar instructions but they must do the action only if the instruction starts with the words Coco says. If Coco doesn’t talk, the children mustn’t move. Give a demonstration by saying Touch your feet: you stand still and so do the children. If there are children unable to do the movements, give them the flashcard of the part of the body and ask them to show it when you give the command Coco says. Hit the word Revise the words from two or three units saying the words while you stick all the flashcards on the board. Call three or four children to line up facing the board and give them a soft little ball each (you can make the balls with tissue paper). Say a word, the children have to throw the ball and hit the right flashcard. Continue with different children. Run to the flashcard Use this to revise the language from any vocabulary set. Put the flashcards in various places around the classroom and play a song or a chant. Tell the children they can move, march or dance around the room as long as the audio is playing. Tell them you are going to stop it suddenly and name a flashcard. They have to run to that flashcard. Swap places Hang some flashcards around the room. Divide the class into groups, assign each group to a flashcard, and invite them to stand next to it. Say the name of two flashcards out loud, e.g. scooter/seesaw. The children next to those flashcards quickly swap places.

Level 1 Teacher’s Book - Games Bank Where’s Coco? Take one child aside while the others hide Coco somewhere in the room. The children are going to guide their friend to Coco by singing a familiar song or rhyme out loud when their friend gets closer to Coco, or quietly when he/she moves further away from Coco. TPR activity with balloons Blow up some balloons and tell the children to keep the balloons from touching the floor while you play a song or a chant. Tell them they are “out” if they are the last person to touch a balloon that hits the ground. TPR activity with a ball This can be played with a ball while chanting a rhyme. The children stand outside a circle marked by a rope and take turns to bounce the ball inside or outside the circle, while chanting the rhyme. TPR activity in a circle Put the children in a circle and assign a flashcard each. Play a song or a chant with those words. The children march on the spot when they hear the chorus, they step toward the centre of the circle when they hear their flashcard word, and then step back.

Numbers activities

Missing numbers 1) Revise the numbers the children learnt in the unit by writing the figures or sticking the flashcards of the numbers on the board. Ask the children to say the words or to repeat them after you. Now take away one flashcard or erase one number, and ask the class to say the whole series in English including the missing number. Continue to erase numbers until the class says all the numbers without any figures on the board.

Games Bank

2) Put the numbers flashcards on the board in the correct order. Call a child to stand with their back to the board, and take one flashcard off. The class says the sequence of numbers skipping the one that was taken off. The child has to guess the missing number and say it out loud. 3) Put the flashcards 1-10 on a heap on your desk and take one out without showing it. The children come to the desk, take the cards one by one and put them on the board in the correct order. They must discover and say which one is missing.

Ordering numbers 1) Put the number flashcards in a bag and call one child at a time to pull one out. The child must say the number and put it up on the board. The flashcards on the board must be in the correct order. 2) Divide the class into small groups and give each group the flashcards of numbers 1-10. Ask the children to put them in the correct sequence on the table or on the floor and to read them in English, first counting up (1-10) and then counting down (10-1). Find the numbers Walk around the class putting the number flashcards in different locations. Then call the numbers in random order. The children run to the number flashcard and stick it on the board leaving appropriate gaps to put all numbers in the correct sequence. Number sequence Line up all the children and ask every fifth child to step out. As it might be difficult for them to identify their order in the line up, ask the first in the line to stand at the front, to point at every fifth child and to say progressively five, ten, fifteen, twenty. If there are more children, you may need to add twenty-five, thirty, etc. Choose another child to call the numbers backwards: while he/she calls them, the children step back in the line.

Patterns Ask the children to create patterns with any category of objects. They need to recognise the category and to alternate different types within that category, repeating them at intervals. For example, for the category toys, put a number of toys on the floor. They must be of different shape or colour such as toy cars, small dolls, wooden bricks, constructions shapes, crayons. Working together, the children create patterns based on type, colour or shape. You can also use some sets of flashcards from the course alternating, for example, animals with furniture, food with parts of the body, playground items with items from the natural world.

Party games

Duck duck goose A group of children sit in a circle, facing inward, while another child called “it” walks around touching the head of each child and calling each “duck” until finally calling one “goose”. The “goose” then gets up and tries to catch “it” while “it” tries to run and sit where the goose had been sitting. If “it” succeeds, the goose becomes “it” and the process begins again. Grandmother’s footsteps The teacher starts out as the Grandmother and stands at the end of the room / playground / field. All the children stand at the far end of the place. The teacher turns their back to the children, and they try to race across the area and tag the teacher. Whenever the teacher turns around, the children must freeze in position and hold that for as long as the teacher looks at them. Whenever the teacher’s back is turned, the children are free to move. The object of the game is for a child to tag the teacher, taking his/her place and restarting the game.


Level 1 Teacher’s Book - Games Bank Musical chairs Put a number of chairs in a circle, one fewer than the number of children. Arrange them all facing outward with the children standing in a circle all around the chairs. Play a song or a rhyme while the children walk around the chairs. When the music stops, each child tries to sit down on one of the chairs. The child who is left without a chair is eliminated from the game. One chair is then removed to ensure that there will always be one fewer chair than there are children. The music resumes and the cycle repeats until there is only one child left in the game, who is the winner. Musical statues Have some music ready and have the children standing anywhere in the classroom or the playground. Start the music and the children start dancing around. Stop the music and all of the children must freeze in whatever position they are in. Watch the children for any movement: the first person to move goes out. Then restart the music and repeat until only one person is left, the winner.

Pin the tail on the donkey Stick a picture of a donkey with a missing tail to a wall or to the board, within easy reach of the children. Blindfold one child and give him/her a paper tail with some blue tack on it. The blindfolded child is spun round and round, then stops and tries to pin the tail on the donkey. Sleeping lions This is a useful game to calm the children down after a period of excitement. All but one player (the hunter) lie down on the floor, eyes closed, as if they were sleeping. The hunter moves about the room attempting to encourage the lions to move. The hunters can’t touch the lions, but may move close to them, tell them jokes or making scaring noises. Any person who moves must stand up and join the hunter.

Pass the parcel Before the game, prepare a prize wrapped up in many layers of wrapping paper. You can place smaller prizes between each layer. Have all the children sitting on the floor and give one of them the parcel. Play some music: the parcel is passed around from child to child. Stop the music: whoever is holding the parcel at that moment removes one layer of wrapping and gets the small prize found under that layer. Restart the music. The game continues until every layer is removed. The last child to hold it claims the main prize.
