64 pages, 12 lesson plans
The Parent-Teacher Guide explains how to use all the components of the
method, and lays out the lesson plans. It first suggests how to present
new vocabulary, based on the bookfs illustrations and CDs (see The Children's
Text below). Next, it offers a variety of activities such as games, drawing
projects, TPR exercises, roll playing, rhymes, songs, and other devices
to reinforce the vocabulary and the simple grammar presented in the children's
text. When explaining the activities, this Guide uses the classroom as
a setting, but many of them can be performed at home with some adaptation.
Listening, speaking, writing, or drawing tasks are alternated with physical activities to maintain the attention of the youngest students.
Several activities require the use of bingo cards and flash cards, which can be prepared by the children themselves, using their Activity Book.
The Parent-Teacher Guide has an Appendix with Games and activities for all occasions, and a glossary for parents.
