Overview
Audio CD included!
The aim of the Skoldo Elementary Book is to support the National Curriculum using the Spanish language. It is an introduction to the Spanish language for 4 - 7 year olds and only includes basic conversational Spanish and vocabulary. It is cross-curricular and designed to appeal to children of all abilities in years R, 1 and 2.
There is ample support for non-specialist teachers of Spanish and every effort has been made to ensure that teaching and learning Spanish with Skoldo is a fun and rewarding experience.
Each lesson is divided into three parts:
- Whole class activity based on oral listening
Children listen to auditory instructions on the CD. These activities are simple, self-explanatory and require no written work. They are ideal for a whole class activity keeping all abilities working at the same speed.
- Activites aimed at writers
These are at the children who enjoy a challenge and writing. These worksheets should always be beautifully finished with neat writing.
- Whole class activity not requiring any writing
These activities require little written skills as they are puzzle or maths based. They are ideal for homework or to extend conceptual development.
The book features simple activities and colouring-in exercises that are fully photocopiable, as well as lyrics to the songs.
The accompanying audio CD includes oral directions for activities and games as well as the songs. Some of which are traditional Spanish favourites such as "Los pollitos", others have been written especially for the Skoldo programme. Karaoke versions of each track are included for class performances!
