Naked Elves

Oral language tasks to develop early readers

This appealing whole-class lesson provides the basis for a weeks worth of oral language activities; containing a session overview, a limerick based on 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' and a session each for text, sound, word and sentence work. The teacher begins each session by retelling 'Naked Elves' to the class before working through a series of fun and interactive exercises relating to the limerick. Activities include 'Sequence the story' flashcards, a memory game, an 'All kinds of friends' categorising game and a 'Back to the past' story retelling exercise.

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.
