Facilitator’s Guide Grade 2 ~ English Home Language

Introduction for the facilitator Impaq’s approach to language in Grade 2 We use language to think and communicate. When learners use language effectively they are able to think critically, obtain knowledge, express their creative abilities and identity, as well as their feelings and ideas. They also interact better with others and manage their experiences. Home language is an important foundation and shapes learners’ ability to communicate and learn.

In Grade 2, it is important to teach language effectively and create learning opportunities and interactions that focus on the development of learners’ abilities to listen, speak, think, argue, read and write. This learning programme contains 20 units that stretch over 40 weeks and each unit covers 10 days (or two weeks).

Term 1: weeks 1 – 10 Term 2: weeks 11 – 20 Term 3: weeks 21 – 30 Term 4: weeks 31 – 40 Each day offers one or two detailed language sessions on these aspects: • Listening and speaking • Reading and phonics • Writing and language structure

Listening and speaking Listening and speaking form the foundation of learning and that is why, in Grade 2, time is dedicated to focused activities to develop these skills. During the listening and speaking sessions, learners are encouraged to improve their vocabulary and language structure. The facilitator must create ample opportunity for learners to talk spontaneously about a topic. Should learners be unable to have a meaningful conversation, the facilitator may ask questions directed at helping the flow of the conversation.

The listening- and speaking activities include conversations on specific topics, image discussions, introducing new stories to learners and speeches. The programme offers dedicated listening- and speaking sessions but these are, in some instances, integrated with reading- or writing sessions.

In each learning unit, sessions are allocated specifically to listening- and speaking activities. It is, however, important that the facilitator integrates listening- and speaking skills with other learning areas. This gives learners the opportunity to think critically, listen attentively and talk when they are interacting or doing other tasks.

Reading Developing learners’ reading skills is an important component of this programme. The year plan is based on the reader series: The adventures of Ben, Lebo and Hanna (Phases 5 – 8). Each phase has six stories. As the learners progress through the year, the stories and sentences gradually become longer.

The programme is developed to promote word recognition and sentence construction. The learners read with increasing fluency and understanding and rely on high-frequency words (that appear regularly in most reading passages) to improve their reading skills. The facilitator uses sight words

Facilitator’s Guide Grade 2 ~ English Home Language

should learners still find some words difficult or if the words are unfamiliar. For learners who are more advanced readers, there is no need to use sight words.

The programme provides for shared-, group guided- and independent reading when the learners read with the facilitator or another learner, as well as individual reading. Learners are continuously introduced to new reading passages as well as comprehension tests and poems. However, there are sessions where learners will be expected to read unseen texts.

Phonics Each learning unit includes a range of phonics activities which alternate between the introduction of new sounds, embedding sounds and new spelling rules.

The phonics sessions are spread across the 20 learning units. They learn new spelling rules throughout and there is enough time for revision and to entrench what they have learnt. It also requires learners to each week write the familiar words in their exercise books.

Handwriting Throughout the year learners systematically master handwriting skills. They revise patterns that promote handwriting as well as all the letters in cursive writing. From the second half of the academic year, learners are prepared for cursive writing. They begin with patterns which lead to the forming of cursive letters. By the end of the year they should be able to write single words in cursive.

Writing Writing activities focus on the learners’ abilities to write meaningful sentences, whereas handwriting focuses on the skill of forming letters correctly. Writing activities are simple at first and require learners to fill in words to complete sentences and even build sentences. As the programme progresses, learners are challenged to write their own sentences, plan and write stories, and to read with comprehension and provide answers.

The Grade 2 home language programme introduces learners to parts of speech, specifically proper nouns and verbs, and also makes provision for simple exercises to make learners aware of the present, past and future tense in verbal as well as written language.

Materials and resources Grade 2 learners write with pencils. All the written activities are set out in the workbooks. However, learners will need two blank books (an exercise book and a class work book for creative writing and writing familiar spelling words (weekly exercise). Use exercise books with thin Irish lines and margins (Irish & Margin).

You have to buy: • A pencil for writing activities.

• Two blank books (an exercise book and a class work book for creative writing and writing familiar spelling words (weekly exercise). Use exercise books with thin Irish lines and margins (Irish & Margin). All other writing activities are done in the workbooks.

Facilitator’s guide This guide contains 20 learning units. Every learning unit is spread over two weeks and covers 10 days. Each day is divided into three to five language sessions that include listening and speaking, reading (group guided, paired- and independent reading), phonics, writing and handwriting. Refer to the proposed daily programme for the time allocation of the sessions.

Each session is concluded with two information boxes – Conceptualisation and Resources. The conceptualisation box summarises the concepts that are embedded, while the resources box provides a list of items provided (i) and/or required () for the session.

Two symbols are used in each session.

The owl indicates what the facilitator must do.

The pencil indicates what the learner must do.

Workbook 1: Writing and Sounds There is one workbook for each term and 187 activities that support the gradual learning and embedding of handwriting and sounds.

Workbook 2: Writing There is one workbook for terms 1 and 2 and one for terms 3 and 4 with 60 activities to help develop the learner’s ability to write meaningful sentences.

Reading series: The adventures of Ben, Lebo and Hanna The reading series is developed specifically for the Grade 2 English Home Language programme. It consists of phases 5 to 8 and builds on the Grade 1 readers (phases 1 to 4).

Facilitator aid The facilitator aid contains spelling words, large cursive letters, sounds, words for phonics lessons, high frequency words and sight words.

Learner aid The learner aid contains spelling words, spelling tests, sounds, words for phonics lessons, high frequency words and pattern cards.

Learning unit Day 1

1 Week 1

Session 1: Listening, speaking and reading: “Have you seen my glasses?”

This is a combined reading, listening and speaking session. Depending on the stage of each story in the reading series, the listening and speaking sessions are integrated with the reading sessions.

At the end of each new story, there is a listening and speaking session as well. During this session learners are introduced to the new story, or at the end of each story learners talk about the story and answer questions and/or draw conclusions.

• • • • • • • • • • •

Discuss the title and the picture on the opening page of the story: “Have you seen my glasses?”

Read the title of the story to learners. Read the title again; learners read the title with you.

Discuss the use of the question mark at the end of the title: Look at the punctuation mark at the end of the title. Which punctuation mark can we see? (Question mark) Why is there a question mark?

When do we use question marks? Learners formulate questions.

Emphasise the difference between a question and a statement (a normal sentence).

Look at the picture on the opening page of the story. (The adventures of Ben, Lebo and Hanna, Phase 5, p. 7) Where are Ben and Carin? (In a bedroom.)

Why do you say they are in a bedroom? (Learners identify the furniture and explain that’s why they are in a bedroom).

What is Ben doing?

What is Carin doing?

What are the friends looking for? What makes you think that? (The friends are looking for glasses because the title of the story is “Have you seen my glasses?”).

Let’s start reading this week’s story to find out what happens with Ben and Carin.

The reading sessions provide for independent and group reading (with the facilitator or a friend). Facilitate each reading lesson and use the sight words as indicated to introduce learners to new and/or unfamiliar words. In addition to the sight words, learners read high frequency words, e.g. they, the, is, am, are, it, etc. These are familiar words found in almost all texts. Learners are required to read high frequency words to improve their reading proficiency. If they find it difficult to read a word, they can try to sound and read the word, before you sound and read the word.

• Learners cut out the high frequency words for the week in the learner aid and practise them every day. Flash these high frequency words to the learners who must recognise them instantly.

They are already familiar with the words and should be able to read them with ease. Shuffle and flash the words while learners read each word at least three times.

• the, and, a, to, said, in, he, she • Flash these sight words: Ben, Carin, visiting, Grandpa, Granny, newspaper, glasses, bathroom, washing.

• Read and sound the words with the learners.

• Let’s look at the opening page of the story: “Have you seen my glasses?” Read the title of the story with the learners. © Impaq

Allow learners to name all the words that start with ‘c’.

Read the following sentences. Learners listen and clap when they hear the ‘c’ sound: Coco can climb into the cot.

Candice eats candy and claps happily.

Can you clap your hands?

The cock crows in the cage.

Can you remember what the ‘c’ sound looks like? Flash the ‘c’ sound to learners. Emphasise the shape of the letter ‘c’.

Flash the ‘c’ words from the learning resources to learners. They read the words to you.

Flash the words to the learners again. They sound each word and read it to you.

Day 2

Session 1: Listening and speaking • • • • • • • •

It is the beginning of a new school year. Have a conversation about the December holidays.

Use questions to help learners who do not talk spontaneously.

Everyone had fun during the holiday. Were you at home or did you go away to family, friends or a holiday destination?

Use the learners’ frames of reference and formulate questions according to their discussion, e.g.: Where did you go during the holiday? Who went with you?

Did you enjoy the holiday? Why? What did you do during the holiday?

Are you looking forward to the new year? What does it mean to ‘look forward to’ something?

Why are you excited about the new year?

Have a 10-minute conversation to let learners talk about their holidays. Pay attention to their vocabulary and use of complete sentences.

Session 2: Phonics: t-sound • • • • • © Impaq

Yesterday, learners read and sounded words with the ‘c’ sound. Think of a few words that begin with ‘c’. Learners name words that begin with ‘c’.

Today, we listen to another sound. Listen to the story and see whether you can recognise today’s sound.

Ted the tiger is tired. He is too tired to tiptoe to the tree.

Ted is an animal. Which animal is Ted? What is wrong with Ted? Listen to the story again and try to recall all the words that begin with ‘t’.
