Special notes to the teachers on Sammy and Kite

Sammy and Kite is a course for young learners who are starting to learn English. The emphasis is on speaking and listening and the English language is introduced via images, picture stories and audio recordings. The book is based on the activities of four friends, Sammy the squirrel, Kite the kite, Katie the kangaroo and Benny the ball and the stories and exercises stimulate young learners and motivate them to learn in a fun and enjoyable way.

The book comprises two sections; in the first, there are ten lessons which focus on spoken language whilst in the second section, pupils are gradually exposed to the written language, for passive recognition only.

There are 24 core lessons in Sammy & Kite, each of which provides a natural context for presenting new words and is structured as follows:Picture StripThe key words of each lesson are presented in the strip of four of five pictures at the start of each lesson. These words are also recorded on the audio CD, so pupils can listen to the correct pronunciation. From Lesson 11 onwards, the words appear under the image. Picture Story Each picture story features the characters of the book. Pupils listen to the story while looking at the pictures and they can subsequently act out the story in groups. ExercisesThe exercises include a combination of listening and speaking activities, in conjunction with a variety of creative activities, such as:

Matching exercises, where pupils draw lines to match objects and say the words aloud Colouring exercises, which make learning fun Drawing exercises, such as dot-to-dot or puzzle pictures, where pupils find hidden objects and say the words Role-play activities, based on a photo Sticker exercises, where people find stickers at the back of their books and stick them in the correct place to complete an image Songs, which feature simple language and new words Speaking exercises, which practise new words and language interactively (pair work, dialogues, asking and answering questions, miming) From Lesson 11 onwards, one or more short phrases or sentences for pupils to learn by heart

Fun with Sammy lessonsThere are three Fun with Sammy lessons, after Lessons 8, 16 and 24, where the language learnt in the previous 8 lessons is consolidated.

Sammy’s alphabet lessonsThere are eight Sammy’s alphabet lessons, after Lessons 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24, where each letter of the alphabet is illustrated.

Page 3: Sammy and Kite Lesson Plans

Finger PuppetsAt the back of the Pupil’s book, there are finger puppets of the four course characters. Pupils make them themselves and then use them for the role-play activities.

Activity BookFor each lesson in the Pupil’s book, there is a corresponding lesson in the Activity book with fun activities that enable pupils to consolidate learning. Exercises include Draw, Circle, Colour, Find and Colour, Match and Colour, Draw and Colour, Count and Match and there are also Sammy’s alphabet lessons, in which pupils can practise writing the letters of the alphabet.

Teacher’s BookThe teacher’s book offers straightforward guidance to teachers and it provides an introduction to the course and effective teaching tips. In each lesson, there is

a clear presentation of the lesson, with the lesson objective and the materials required an actual page of the pupils’ book, making it easy to follow an optional extra activity the audio script

FlashcardsThere are picture flashcards for the four characters and for all the key words illustrated at the top of the page.

Interactive whiteboard software which has the complete Student's Book and Activity Book exercises with all audio and answer keys all in digital form including animation of the comic strip .

Page 4: Sammy and Kite Lesson Plans

It is very important that you use the suggestions and instructions from the Teacher’s Book. The plan outlines the activities that should be done during each lesson, but there are lots of extra ideas in the Teacher’s Book.

Don’t forget that it is not a lesson in the sense that Ss have to study at home. Through games, songs and flashcards you should ensure that your pupils have assimilated the vocabulary taught during each lesson. Pupils should have FUN!

REMEMBER! Use the English language as much as you can. Of course, you should explain things to pupils in Greek in the beginning, but open your books, listen, draw, sing, look and other simple words are directions that pupils will understand soon, therefore there is no need to translate them into Greek.
