Extend your students' oral language skills with these rich and powerful daily language lessons.
Students come to school with vastly different levels of language development. Many come from language-rich environments where they have heard thousands and thousands of words spoken. These students are often the most verbal in the classroom. At the other end of the continuum are students who come from homes where a language other than English is spoken. These students need special help in gaining fluency in English. Centered on real objects that the teacher takes to school for a day (a pot holder, mirror, ladle, banana, flashlight, etc.), lessons coax students at all levels to talk; describing, comparing, asking questions, explaining. Even the most reluctant participants look forward to "Talk Time" and the surprising contents of the Talk Time pillowcase where each new day's object is hidden.
