 Re: English by games
I'd try and get hold of the curriculum she's using at school and find out what she's done so far. Then at each lesson focus on one area, starting with the simplest, and work a lesson of games and activities round that. Don't assume knowledge howver unti you're clear how well she's learnt what they've covered. Start with receptive practice activities - activities where she only has to recognise the language (for example, matching words or sentences to pictures, wordsquares focusing on a specific lexical area, games where she has to follow commands etc). Then when you're sure she understands the language involvesed move on to games where she has to use it, songs etc etc. Plan the lesson so that the language is always introduced receptively before it is practised productively and the less demanding activities always come before the more difficult ones. That way you'll never lose her, you can check her understanding at the beginning and provide help if necessary, and you'll see when activities are getting too difficult and can stop before it gets demotivating. |
