Primary 1 - 3 Making Links across KLAs and Developing Effective Learning Strategies and Skills through Reading, Phonics and Grammar Games: "My Favourite Things"   (Some of the activities have been tried out in Tin Shui Wai Methodist Primary School)     This exemplar shows how teachers: ** help young learners link the content of an English non-fiction reader to other learning/teaching materials for the subject of English Language as well as other subjects like Mathematics and General Studies; ** develop young learners' reading skills and strategies through shared reading and follow-up learning activities; ** provide meaningful contexts for developing young learners' phonics skills and reinforcing the learning of grammar items and communicative functions; ** use information books to broaden young learners' world knowledge and exposure to English and develop their interest and skills in reading to learn; and ** use games and other activities with fun elements to develop young learners' confidence, skills and interest in learning English.   Learning and Teaching Process Planning Stage Teachers work as a team to: identify a theme/module to work on; choose an appropriate English non-fiction reader that helps young learners make connections between their learning experiences in the subject of English Language and other subjects such as Mathematics and General Studies; and identify the vocabulary items, letter sounds, communicative functions, and grammar items to focus on.   Learning and Teaching Stage << Back     Contributed by: Curriculum Development Institute, Education Bureau Edited by: HKEdCity Content Team
