Songs, Storytelling, Rhymes, Chants, Picture Books, Games, and Reproducible Activities That Promote Natural and Purposeful Communication in Young Children

Over the years, reading research has accumulated a wealth of evidence identifying the strong relationship between the extent of students’ vocabulary knowledge and their ability to comprehend what they have read as well as their overall academic success. The National Reading Panel (2000) has written that "direct instruction for vocabulary development is important for all students, but it is crucial for English language learners (ELL) and for students who are at risk for learning how to read."

English Language Learners: Vocabulary Building Games & Activities offers teachers hundreds of ideas to create learning environments that are filled with rich oral language and encourage children’s active engagement.

A variety of instructional methods can be found in this book including selecting vocabulary; effectively using children’s literature; reading aloud; applying Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) and Total Physical Response (TPR); employing songs, rhymes, chants, and musical activities to help children imitate and remember language; and utilizing games as valuable teaching tools.

This teaching resource will help classroom teachers develop strategies, activities, and interventions that can be used throughout the day to make learning fun, promote receptive and expressive language, and help children achieve academic success.

Includes:

Classroom tips for supporting young English language learners
Overview of second language learning
Guide for selecting appropriate vocabulary words
Multitude of games that can be used with any vocabulary word list
Hundreds of games organized by themes
Explanation of the importance of musical activities and a children’s ESL song list
Strategies for teaching vocabulary through storytelling and picture books
Comprehensive ESL picture and read-aloud book list
Over 1,000 reproducible picture and word cards with ideas for accompanying card games

Testimonials

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.

I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
