General Unit Guide

This book focuses on the letter level, building confidence to start writing words in English. The ‘Get Ready’ unit Meet the Characters
(pages 8-13) provides a foundation unit, preparing students for the new course material.

Page 1
The first page of each unit provides prompts to elicit students’ existing language and to stimulate students’ interest
in the given topic. This helps students generate ideas for the writing tasks ahead. Students can be asked questions
about the picture(s) before or after listening to and answering the questions on the audio CD. Attention should also
be drawn to the Word Box. This is vocabulary which students should be able to recognise when they see it in print,
as it will reappear through the unit.

Warm-Up
Section A:
Students start with a simple note-taking task. This starts to direct students’ attention towards the target words,
which will become more apparent on the next page. Students can be encouraged to come to the front of the class
to present their work.
Section B:
Students are given questions that they can ask a partner. They should write their partner’s answers. Students can
be asked to present these answers to the rest of the class and should be encouraged to start converting these
first-person answers into the third person.

Spelling Builder
Section A:
The vocabulary presented on this page are target words. Students listen to the audio pronunciation of the words.
They can practise tracing the words to gain visual familiarity with the pattern of the letters. They then copy them.
As students gain confidence, they should cover up the words in the first two columns before writing them again.

Section B:
Students have an opportunity to recall the spelling of the target words through a guided oral activity that could be
done with a partner.
Section C: Through prompts, students are asked to apply their knowledge with further writing practice.

Put It Together
This section provides a more challenging application of the target words within a short phrase or sentence. Students
will start to appreciate that words rarely appear in isolation and that they can change form; this will prepare them
for higher-level writing skills.

Games and Puzzles
The end of every unit provides a fun review activity which can be completed individually, in pairs, or as a group.
A few of the activities might need supporting material such as a die or a coin.
In addition, there is a review section after every four units. You can also download for Free extra Workbook Activities,
as well a short Test for each unit.
