ER/CLIL in the Primary School

1. FIRST STEP: Listening and looking

   • From you tube the teacher selects a tale, and shows it in the classroom
     • At least teacher plays games and asks questions

2. SECOND STEP: First Reading

   • Teacher gives to their pupils a book, with the same tale. Children read the story.
     • Then they draw the most important scenes of the story, and the characters.
       • At the end children realize a storyboard of the tale.

3. THIRD STEP: Reading and Comprehension

   • Teacher gives to their children others tales, 2 or 3. They read in small groups each book.
     • Each group tells to others the own story, in English and Italian language. They help with the story images.
       • Teacher shows the video or cartoons of these stories.

4. FOUR STEP: Extensive Reading

   • Teacher puts in the classroom a little library. Each pupil chooses a book and reads it.
     • Each pupil draws the characters of his story, and tells to the classroom his work.
       • Teacher plays games and activities about each story.
         • Which is the most beautiful story? Children choose the favourite.

5. In the Primary School children aren't independent readers. So it's important the books are simple, full of pictures. It's also important reading is like a play, and so the teacher, in the first moments shows a video, a cartoon or some pictures of the story. Reading is a joy.
