Classroom Tips
Look carefully at practice tests so that the instructions are clear to all children.
Play instruction games in class to ensure that children understand and can follow written and spoken instructions.
Classroom Tips Introduce new language meaningfully. Ensure children know how to spell the word and how to say it. Make sure children have a record of the vocabulary. Give lots of practice in vocabulary.
Classroom Tip
Use your course book to practise exam skills and give further practice of the language. You don’t need extra books or materials, just a few ideas.
