Spanish Sentence Builders Primary Part 1

This ‘no-frills’ book contains 10 units of work on very popular themes, jam-packed with graded vocabulary-building, listening, reading, translation, retrieval practice and writing activities. Key vocabulary, lexical patterns and structures are recycled and interleaved throughout. Each unit in the book includes:

a sentence builder modelling the target constructions, introduced by questions to guide communication;
a set of Listening-As-Modelling activities to train decoding skills, sound awareness, speech-segmentation, lexical-retrieval and parsing skills;
a set of reading tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text;
a set of translation tasks aimed at consolidation through retrieval practice;
a set of writing tasks targeting essential writing micro-skills such as spelling, functional and positional processing, editing and communication of meaning.
