INTRODUCTION:
PROFILES
Connect Plus is a curriculum designed by Longman Egypt and York Press
in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Education and Technical
Education to give the Egyptian young learners a chance to learn and have
fun at the same time. Connect Plus takes into consideration the need of a
child to use the language as a tool to learn about and communicate his/
her ideas to the world. It also takes into account the obligation of formal
schooling to create a citizen who is capable of serving the country by being
knowledgeable, cooperative and successful at the same time. Such goals
can only be achieved by employing Content and Language Integrated
Learning (CLIL) in designing a language book that supports, feeds in and
feeds from the other knowledge and content book the students will be
studying at school.

6. LITERACY THEORY OF READING:

• Learning is about literacy, culture, and awareness.
• Synthetic phonetics and synthetic reading (contextualization).
• Five essential literacy skills:
1. Phonological awareness.
2. Phonemic decoding. (Learning vocabulary for reading literacy purposes.)
3. High-frequency vocabulary and sight-word reading.
4. Reading structures (sentences) fluently and accurately.
5. Comprehension.
Phonological Awareness Abilities
1. Sound Imitation - repeating sounds when given a spoken model.
Ex: Teacher says:/ss/. Child repeats: /ss/ sound.
2. Sound Segmentation – recognizing the individual sounds in a word.
Ex: “run” = sounds /rrr/, /uuu/, /nnn/
3. Sound Isolation - recognizing an individual sound at the beginning, middle, or end of
a word.
Ex: /t/ sound in tree, stick, ant
21
DAY ONE: SESSION 2:
PROFILES
4. Sound Blending – opposite of Sound Segmentation, recognizing a word when given the
sounds that make it up.
Ex: /fff/, /rrr/, /ooo/, /ggg/ = frog
5. Sound/Phoneme Vs. letter Recognition - recognizing the individual sounds in words in
opposition to letters.
Ex: “shout” = five letters but four sounds: /sh/, /a/, /u/, /t/
6. Recognition of Rhyming - recognizing the common sounds in words.
Ex: the /og/ sound in frog, dog, and log
7. Syllable Recognition – breaking down words into groups of sounds or parts
Ex: chil…dren
8. Word Segmentation – recognizing the distinct words in a sentence, telling how many
words are in a sentence.
Ex: Vocab. activities in the book.
Reading Skills
1. Recognition of meaning of sight, high-frequency words.
2. Interpretation of new words’ meanings from context (word-meaning guessing).
22
DAY ONE: SESSION 2:
PANELLISTS
3. Recognition of units of thought; i.e. sentences. (E.g. Bambi was very happy with the gift.)
4. Recognition of sequence: comprehension of a whole meaning by recognizing sequence of
ideas or events. (Pronouns and demonstrative pronouns reference, connectors…etc.)
5. Contextual recognition and analysis (a higher and deeper level of understanding the
context, it comes as a result of ‘Recognition of sequence’).
6. Employing past experience to understand new information.
Based on this, we can conclude that all the phonics, vocabulary, and language use activities
are there to serve mainly READING

this pedagogical method: Literacy Theory of Reading.

DAY ONE: SESSION 2:
PROFILES
LET’S EXPLORE THE UNIT’S STRUCTURE
7. TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR):

• Using motor skills to react physically to language learning.
• People learn better and faster when they try out things by themselves. Do to
learn!
• Motor skills include: singing, moving in class, dancing, cutting, pasting, tick-
ing, matching, etc.
• Strengthen the body to help in learning writing and handwriting activities.
• For young learners, TPR activities are part of the Writing skill.

this pedagogical method: Total Physical Response (TPR).

8. PROJECT-BASED EDUCATION:
• Making the language come to life and have a purpose!
• Producing something using the learned language and content.
• There are tasks and steps to complete the projects.

a. How to use pictures
Why?
• Increases general knowledge.
• Introduces the unit’s topic.
• Raises motivation, curiosity and involvement.
• Develops oral skills.
• Builds up new vocabulary.
• Recycles learned vocabulary.
How?
1. Ask closed questions.
2. Introduce the topic.
3. Ask for speculations.
4. Ask personalized, open-ended questions.
b. How to teach readers (stories)

Why?
• Teach values and life skills.
• Stretch a child’s mental concentration time span.
• Develop child memory, imagination and creative skills.
• Develop mental abilities (esp. sequencing: following or producing sequential
events, relating events forth and backwards).
• Teach vocabulary functionally in context.
• Communicatively teach grammatical and sentence structures.
33
DAY TWO: SESSION 2:
PROFILES
How?
1. Prepare the learners by asking questions
whose answers help introducing topic
and characters.
2. Ask for predictions about what the
story will be, based on the pictures,
logic or imagination.
3. Start reading and pointing to the pictures
and the text.
4. Use all possible realia, create character
masks, and intone your voice to act while reading.
c. How to teach songs
Pre-listening:
• Prepare the learners by: questions and answers introducing topic and characters.
• Ask for guesses based on logic or imagination of what they are going to hear.
During Listening:
• Always keep them alert by showing, moving, and playing with
flash cards, pictures of characters and objects.
• Use actions and movement as much as possible to accompany songs and encourage
the children to participate.
• They need a reason for listening. Give them a task: focus on words or ideas to
search for, sounds to search for, learning the sounds to repeat later.
• Use the same song again and again; this gives motivation, confidence and
security coming from familiarity.
Post Listening:
• Ask vocabulary questions. Ask for details. Ask for repetition.
