Picture - Word Bingo In Level Two we train the children to read more independently. Play picture word bingo.

Phonics: C-V-C words Train children in beginning letters, middle letters and ending sounds.

Grammar Make cards for I have a mouse Ask children to arrange them into a sentence. Replace the a mouse card with other animals names taught in the picture word bingo Game: Letter Sticks

Give each child a letter card on a stick. Some children will have the same letters. Ask them to look at the letters and say its sound. Then start to call words and ask the children to raise their letter card if it makes the beginning sound of the word. If the children are familiar with the sound, ask them to change with each other so that they can practice different letters. For older students you can make this into a competition.

Story Time The Ant & the Dove

Suggestion: design a pop-up book with four scenes An ant walked to a river to drink some water. The water was cool and nice. He drank more and more and more and he fell in the water. Oh no! Help me! Help me! he cried. A Dove was sitting on a tree. He saw the ant in the river. I will help you. I will help you! He picked a leaf and dropped it into the river. Climb on the leaf, Ant. Climb on the leaf! The Ant got onto the leaf and climbed into the grass. Thank you, Dove. Thank you!

From that day the Dove and the Ant greeted each other every day: The Ant would say: Good morning Dove! And the Dove would smile and say, Good morning Ant. How are you today. The other doves were laughing at them. Why do you care for such a little ant? they said. Well, said Dove. He is my friend.

Now one day a bird catcher came in the forest. Ahh! There are some doves in that tree. They dont see me. I am going to shoot them! He took out his gun and pointed it at the doves. Ant saw the hunter. He called the doves, Doves, Doves, fly away! The Doves didnt hear him. They were sleeping. The Ant called again, Doves, doves! Fly away! Still the doves didnt hear him. Just as the hunter was ready to shoot, the Ant climbed up the hunters leg and bit him! Aaahhhh! the hunter screamed and dropped his gun. The Doves woke up with a shock. A hunter! called the Ant. Quickly fly away! The Doves got up and flew off, Thank you! Thank you, Ant. They said. Ant, you are a real friend! said the other doves. You are a real friend!

Now one day there was a fire That burned and burned and burned.

All the animals ran, ran And ran. Only the turtle didnt go. Because he knew he was too slow.

He cried: Help me! Help me! Help me! But no one was near, To help or even hear. Till two geese flew by, Who said: Let us carry you up high. Bite in this stick And please dont talk as we fly. He kept quiet for a while, And it went very well, But then he saw some cousins Who started to yell. He greeted them with a loud Hellooooooooooo for how long?

We can not make much porridge, just enough for the giant. You can not eat today. 13. Totomo said, Dont worry mother. I will drink water.

And she didnt eat. 14. The next day Mama didnt have much money either. She said, Totomo, again, we cant eat today! And Totomo said, Dont worry, mother! I will drink water again! But she was hungry. 15. The third day, again Mama didnt have much money. She said, Today we only have porridge for the giant. 16. Again Totomo said, Dont worry, mother. We have plenty of water. But Totomo was very, very hungry. 17. And when mother had gone, she said, I have to eat. Ill just take one spoon. Just one spoon! 18. But that one spoon was so nice. Ill take one more. Slrrrp!

And now I want to eat you! With one big blow, he kicked the roof off the house. 23. Totomo had been hiding inside the house Now she got up and ran as fast as the wind. But the giant had seen her and followed her. 24. On her shoulders, Totomo had a small bag. When the giant came very close, she opened it and pulled out a red chili and threw it at the giant. 25. The tiny chili, became a very big fire! The giant cried, Totomo, what are you doing? And jumped in the water. 26. Totomo ran through the forest. 27. The giant put out the fire and followed her. Now he was not only hungry, he was also very angry! Totomo, I am angry, you know. I am really angry! 28. Again, the giant was coming closer and closer.

The small stick became a huge forest! With tall trees everywhere, the giant could not run very fast. Arh, he said, I am stuck. 33. But not for long. And when the giant got out, he hissed and shouted, This time you wont get away. 34. In no time, he was right behind Totomo. Now her little bag was empty. She couldnt stop him anymore. 35. The giant grabbed her, opened his mouth and swallowed her in one big snap. 36. Ha, he said, That feels good! But I am tired, very tired And lay down. 37. Totomo was inside the giants stomach. She was not hurt. She was thinking what to do. 38. Just as the giant began to snore, Totomo took out her hair pin and started to push it into the giants stomach. 39. Totomo, what are you doing? Totomo, please stop!

Totomo, no more, please!

40. But Totomo didnt stop. She pushed, and pushed. And the giant jumped and jumped and jumped 41. till he fell on the grass. 42. Just then Mother came back from the market. She saw the broken house, the forest, the ocean and fire. And then she said, But where is Totomo? 43. From very far, she heard, I am here! Where? cried mother. Where are you? 44. She followed Totomos voice Then she saw the giant in the grass. Where are you? 45. Totomo shouted, In the stomach! Mother at once took a pair of scissors and cut open the giants belly. 46.

Rhyming pairs Prepare pairs of rhyming cards. Each card should have a piece of string, so that children can hang the card around their neck. Distribute the cards to the students and see if they can find their matching card. Rhyming games Erase the Rhyme Draw a picture on a dry erase board, such as grass, sky, tree, flower, and sun. Say a word, such as tower, and have a child come up to erase what rhymes (flower); erase what rhymes with bee (tree); erase what rhymes with fun (sun). Continue until the whole picture is erased.

Match the rhymes On a large piece of paper make two columns. In each column draw objects or pictures that you like. Ask your kid to match two objects from each column that have names with identical sounds. Rhyming Dice Rhyming Basket Objects are placed in a basket (one object for each child present), and the basket is passed around the circle. As each child gets the basket, I say a word (such as fizzers) and they pull out the object that rhymes (scissors). You can use any objects, because it doesnt matter if the rhyming words are real words or nonsense words.

The Wordeater
Read the story a few times. When they are familiar with it, omit the second rhyming word and ask the children to fill in the rhyming word 2. I have a pet, I got him when he was very small. When he didnt eat Words at all. 4. But then one day, I had left him at home, He started to eat letters Like a dog chews a bone. 6. He says, Letters we do not read. Letters we only eat. 8. I dont know what he thinks But Ss seem to be his favorite thing.

10. Letters give him so much fun That he can even eat A dirty one. 12. He says he learned it from his mom Who taught him how to eat letters When he was only one. 14. And he is not scared at all, He will do anything To eat letters Even if he may fall. 16. Many people are very kind And when he eats their letters They do not mind. 18. But it can be a problem though, Like that day when he ate an O. 20. Wordeaters do not live very long And need much care As eating letters only Doesnt make them strong. 22. I asked him to eat rice Or drink some tea. But he said, he only likes letters, Any letter from A to Z.

24. Then I thought I could teach him to read. So that he might stop this letter eat. 26. But these letters were too yummy. He couldnt put them in his head. He only put them in his tummy! 28. I think Wordeaters are really cute, But if you get one Tie him up, You really should!
