							| I need some help 
 |  
							| Hi my dear friends... It�s nice to be back. (I�ve been on holidays till 12-23!!! But now they�re over and I have to re-start...again!!!) 
 I will need your web-bank information today.. This year I�ll start a new challenge. I have to teach 3 different groups of 5-6 years old kids!!! They don�t read and write yet. So what I need is some theoretical background in order to plan my techniques for this year.
 
 Any clue??
 
 I�ll thank you a lot!!!
 
 Hugs
 
 Mercedes

							| If you are teaching initial reading skills, including letter rgecognition, sounds and eventually blending to make words, I would totally recomment a system called Jolly Phonics.  Check it out in Google and look at their materials and methodology - it is an excellent system for helping kids master the basics of reading |  12 Jan 2009

							| If your pupils already know their letters from their own language classes, like mine do, I give them a little booklet called "My words" like a little dictionary. Each page is one subject, such as:
 Me
 Colors
 My Family (mother, father, sister, brother etc,)
 pets
 school
 things in the classroom
 pets
 food
 transportation
 
 every day things.
 Then lots of speaking - with repetition.
 What is your name.
 Lots of easy worksheets from ESL for reading/comprehension/coloring. (I have a few uploaded here)
 And then short reading stories based on the words they have learned.
 Lots of songs and chants too.
 That is how I start my beginner classes up.
 It seems to work well.
 Hope this helps
