Practise saying and writing these words in sentences throughout the week.
Main Activity
Use this lesson to encourage your student to recommend some of their favourite books or texts to you or to someone else. This lesson may merely take the form of a discussion about the books, asking your student to tell you about them, and why they are recommending them to you. However, your student may wish to make a poster, fact file, character description, front cover, etc, about their favourite book or books. This lesson will continue next week. (NOTE: You may wish to look at Week 34 Lesson One in advance, in order to prepare for next week's lesson).
