1. Learning to Read; Reading to Learn: Graded Readers in the Young Learners Classroom. The more we read, the more we learn. Therefore, the younger we start reading, the better! Graded Readers are a great tool for motivating language learning, and this lively presentation looks at a range of techniques for exploiting their potential in the classroom. Get your students on the road to reading and vocabulary building!
2. Pirate Parties and Fairy Fantasies: Teaching Vocabulary the Fun Way! Are your kids really inspired by English words and dialogues? With every turn of the page in the New Longman Children's Picture Dictionary, they will be transported from the classroom into the realms of wizards, the icy South Pole or a vegetable gym! Once engaged, every page offers fresh activities. Your kids will then master the art of remembering English, as simple words and dialogues are transformed into song by the wand of Carolyn Graham.
3. Once Upon a Time... The Magic of Shared Reading. Come and share the secrets for successful Shared Reading.
