Reading can be fun!


I hope everyone is well and in good mood for reading. Today we're going to make a new step in reading and try moving to a new level by learning and then checking ourselves. What is today's digraph? Meet it! Digraph "WH"
        I love the chants for this purpose. So the children do! They are perfectly fine with chanting and singing. It motivates them and does not let them down when reading becomes struggling and tiresome. 
       Let them watch the video and enjoy imitating the same chants. Please, follow the link Consonant digraph "WH"
        Now it's time for checking what smart you are and what's today's progress!
 So, follow the link for the word wheel and spin it. Spin the wheel! 
         The result is not the expected one?! No worries about it. Continue with it in a while. Better results succeed in persistence and time. 
Tips!!!
        Your practice is better when it's shorter in length, but often in time. Spaced repetition is highly recommended for your little readers. Do it not only before the lesson, not only in the lesson but revise the previous reading activities for allowing your child to feel confident and proud of himself due to the results he acquired!

Have fun while reading!


Another way to get your learners engaged while reading may be the use of a wheel. It's brightly coloured and your kids won't get bored with the monotonous repetition of reading words from a page of their book or copybook. It is useful for the little ones that have a short attention span. Try to read the same words using this trick. What is the result?
          This time we're going to read the words of the "all" rule. Follow the link: Read the "all" words

Struggling with Speaking?!

                The book with English topics isn't meant, of course, for learning them by heart. It is not effective and for better results, you'd better only read them. It'll help you to summarize what you've learned previously. You may only get inspired by reading through lines and make your own stories. Also, it's a good thing to pay attention to the sentences and structures. And for sure, if you fall in love with some structures, idioms, phrasal verbs or even simple words you may remember and make them a part of your active vocabulary. Sometimes it's just for revising words on a specific topic you are interested in. English topics

Asking Questions. 'Palm method'

                                                        Special & General Questions


A special question is a question used to ask for more information. This question always begins with a 'Wh-' word. The full list of these words is here.

The order of the words in the special questions is the same as in the general, but with one exception: before the auxiliary verb is the question word.
A video explanation of using "Palm Method" you can find here.

Irregular Verbs with NO pain


Whenever want it or not irregular form verbs cause much trouble to students and you sometimes seek for an easy way to learn them. The easiest way is to look them up into a dictionary. It's easy but not practical. Imagine only each time you want to use past indefinite or perfect forms you have to check the verbs into a dictionary. It'll be tiring! And forget about fluency! Sometimes it gets on nerves because these verbs are the most needed and used only in the positive sentences - you don't need them either in negative or interrogative ones as usual. So, roll up your sleeves and begin remembering the most 'popular' or common verbs. It shouldn't be frightening because there are some tips...

There is no time like the present!

 



When it comes to New Year time and Christmas, we unconditionally think and estimate the time and the experience we got. Once we do it every year, it is the right time to do it again.
         Today I came across an old letter, dated September 1997. After I've read it once, I noticed that it isn't even 2007, which seems to me that was yesterday. It is said to be already 2017. It's ten years more! Time flies so quickly and everything happened in no time. I've lost track of the years being rushed off my feet for the time being. In this post I'm not going to talk about New Year resolution or about plans for the year has just come. Mostly, I want to put down some lines about time flow.
          Do you get up at the crack of dawn regularly or once in a blue moon? It depends on you are an early bird or a night owl. The early bird catches the worm! If you are not an early bird yet, then don't get upset! Didn't you know?! One day you may become it! It is only a matter of time. The good news is I have changed from time to time.
          The other day I was in such a hurry to make this post. But I didn't manage to make it in good time, as I had planned, or even on the dot. I was doing the same things over and over again. I hoped I might overcome everything and get things done right at the last minute.kept you waiting for a new post, more than it was supposed. Now I'm turning up with my excuses that I had been held up by everyday chores and not only!
           To sum up, there's no time like the present. If you are the busiest person in the world and you set a goal (no matter what it is!), take the time to find ways to achieve it. It'll make you feel confident and proud of yourself. It'll make you get motivated and push you up on the ladder of success. In no way give up! Be persistent! Do it little by little, every day, and make it a habit. The time we live today is ours. Tomorrow we don't know exactly...
            At last, but not at least, for not just wasting my breath, after reading and studying the idioms about time in this post, I strongly recommend you to use them in your own sentences or, which would be even better, to make your own story! Share your stories right here in the comments. Other readers of the blog and I will be excited to read them! Why not giving a try?! Tell what you feel about the time flow!
