The Oral Language series provides resources and worksheets that develop the core oral language skills of listening, attention, information giving, explanation and questions.
The activities in the Middle book (1st-4th Class) promote oral language skills placing emphasis on the ability of pupils to listen with understanding and respond orally in a confident and coherent manner. The activities can be used as one-off activities, as a daily practice session, or integrated into complete themes of work.
Teachers can assess the accuracy of – and improvement in – the oral tasks for each pupil by collecting the activity sheets.
Overall, this book is a nice supplementary text for oral language. It provides good pair activities to enable children to work on their competence and confidence in using language.
