Tasty Ginger

Oral language tasks to develop early readers

This engaging whole-class lesson provides the basis for a weeks worth of oral language activities; containing a session overview, a limerick based on 'The Gingerbread Man', and a session each for text, sound, word and sentence work. The teacher begins the lesson by retelling 'Tasty Ginger' to the class before working through a series of fun and interactive exercises. Activities include a 'Sequence the story' flashcard session, 'Ends with 'an' bingo', a sentence tossing game and a 'Back to the past' story retelling exercise. Each session focuses on introductory grammar and writing skills.

Sandy Smith

Sandy Smith has taught young children for 16 years, and currently runs a small tuition centre. Many of her students have reading problems stemming from poor oral language skills. Sandy has worked in close partnership with speech pathologists, and now uses oral language goals as a basis for all her literacy-teaching programmes. This has proved successful, even in classes with a high proportion of students with special needs.
