Dear friends
We need to do "learning Support" with learners who struggle with English. We are supposed to implement it in our daily lessons or we can have afternoon classes. I decided that I will take my kids one day in the afternoon and help them.
The problem is not doing the "support" but rather, WHERE DO I START?
They are all Gr2 and most of them struggle with reading and Phonics. I am thinking of starting with the basic phonetics sounds that they are supposed to know and learned in Grade 1 and also take 10 high frequency words each week and practice it with them.
I feel lost!!!!
Am I on the right track? Do you maybe have some suggestions or a web-site that I can read through?
Lots of Love

If I were you I �d try to find CDs or cassettes with very simple dialogues. Then I �d make my students close their eyes to concentrate their thought on hearing. Once a dialogue heard I �d ask what they have recognized.
Then 2nd hearing of the same text, always closing eyes. 2nd recognition. And finally the hearing with the text under the eyes and reading. Then you can start simple exercises about the place of the verb and so on...
I know that it greatly works with my young students.
hope this could help. |

Hello! If I were you I �d start with thematical words which are interestins for kids,make flash cards with the words we are going to learn, we �ll repeat the words all together and then we �ll make short sentences with the new words. And after that you canintroduce the sounds met in the words for children could read them properly. It works with my second graders.Good luck. |

Thanks, foreverjinxed for an interesting sandpaper method aimed at helping the child associate the sounds of speech with their written symbols, as a necessary preparation for writing and reading ;) |

As a complementary teacher, I always start with easing their way out by giving them activities which they are able to do. For instance giving them funny rhyming verses to say back example: Tom the cat hid in a hat.
Then I tell them a story and ask them questions orally.
I elicit the words from the story and sound them for them to say.
From then I work on initial and ending sounds, blends.
Then I start the writing stuff, by matching word to word, word to picture, filling in, etc.
good luck.

i would start with giving them songs about seasons, numbers, family members and months and teach them to perform these songs using aerobics that helps them so much as it makes the language related to other skills
