Learn English -Oxford reading Tree-interactive English learning

Example

Using stories from both new and existing Oxford Reading Tree books to teach vocabulary and grammar in context. For example, if a child has previously learned about family members in one book, a new book that also features a family scenario can reinforce and expand upon this vocabulary.

Scenario

A child learns the word 'sister' in an earlier story. In a new story, they encounter a scenario involving sisters but in a different context, helping to deepen their understanding.

Example

Asking open-ended and closed questions related to the story to enhance comprehension and retention. This could involve asking the child to predict what might happen next in the story or to explain the motives of a character.

Scenario

After reading a story about a lost dog, the child is asked, 'How do you think the dog felt when it was lost?' This encourages empathy and deeper understanding of the story's emotional content.

Example

Creating scenarios and dialogues based on the story content that children can role-play, helping to apply the learned language in everyday situations. For instance, if a story is about buying groceries, parents and children can play out a scenario where they go 'shopping' using items in their home.

Scenario

Following a story about a family picnic, the child is involved in planning a real or pretend picnic, using English to list items they need and describe what they will do.
