There are video and audio files for support, and the clear, easy-to-use layout, make this resource accessible for both specialist and non-specialist teachers.
- Each unit focuses on a rhyme or song and contains sufficient activities for at least half a term's work.
- The accompanying resources CD-Rom contains audio recordings of the songs (with karaoke tracks too), video clips to aid pronunciation of key sounds, as well as a huge bank of reproducible resources.
The spontaneity and lack of inhibition of early years and KS1 children make them exceptionally receptive to learning a foreign language. Petites Étoiles capitalizes on this, providing a wealth of practical, play-oriented activities, ranging from role-play and miming to phonics games and mask making.
Cross-curricular links, extensions for older or more able children and opportunities for developing intercultural understanding make this a truly outstanding resource.
