Primary 1 - 3
Promoting Shared Reading and Developing Phonics and Vocabulary Building Skills: "Using My Five Senses"
  (Some of the activities have been tried out in CUHKFAA Thomas Cheung School and TWGHs Kwan Kai Ming Primary School)
   
This exemplar shows how:
** teachers help young learners see connections in their learning when they link the storybook to the textbook and other resource materials rather than treating them separately;
** shared reading and other enjoyable learning activities can enhance learner motivation and confidence;
** teachers provide meaningful contexts for developing not only learners' reading skills, but also a range of other language and enabling skills, such as phonics and vocabulary building, which are important to successful language learning; and
** teachers help learners develop their generic skills, notably communication skills and creativity, as well as the fundamental intertwining ways of learning and using knowledge such as communicating, conceptualizing and inquiring

 

Learning and Teaching Process
Planning Stage
Teachers work as a team to:
  1. identify a theme/module to work on;
  2. choose a storybook that is suitable for the learners (e.g. an interesting and relevant topic, appealing illustrations, appropriate degree of difficulty in language, repeated use of vocabulary items and sentence structures); and
  3. identify the vocabulary items, letter sounds, communicative functions, and grammar items and structures to focus on.
