What We Learnt This Week

English

• We did 'Reading Aloud'. Here are the tips I shared with the pupils:

Tip 1. Read fluently. I gave the pupils an example of reading fluently by using a pointer/finger.
Reading fluidly - Pointer or finger moves from one word to another smoothly

Example: One morning, / Danial went to the market with his mother.

Reading abruptly - Pointer or finger points to one word at a time. One word is read at a time.

Example: One/ morning,/ Danial/ went/ to/ the/ market/ with/ his/ mother.

Tip 2. Pronunciation: Pronounce the last letter of the word.

Examples:

"las" instead of "last" , "firs" instead of "first"
"live" instead of "lived"
"stop" instead of "stopped"

Tip 3: Common mistakes in pronunciation.

Example: "de" instead of "the"
"their" is pronounced as "there" not "de-are"

• We did 'Picture Discussion'.

Tip 1: Begin the picture discussion.

Example: "This is a picture of a clinic."

Tip 2: Start from right to left or left to right. Please remember to

(a) Highlight what is happening or what the people in the picture are doing.
(b) Share your opinion.

Example: "There is a girl sitting on her mother's lap". "She is crying." I think the mother brought her to the doctor because she is feeling unwell.

Tip 3: Use the present tense.

Tip 4: Do not say "I see..." instead say "there is ..."
