Description

Introducing “Level Up Your Language Skills 5”: the fifth in our new language learning series of no-prep practical exercises to help students in late primary school and early high school/middle school – and others who would benefit from working on their higher level oral language skills – to acquire higher level oral language and reading comprehension skills needed to succeed at school, at work, and in life.

In this resource, we employ evidence-based practical strategies to help students to understand and to use:

• High frequency homophones for comprehension and spelling.
• Simile comprehension and production.
• High frequency academic vocabulary: finite, stimulus, vector, theorem, algorithm.
• Cultural literacy list: The locations of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
• Metaphor comprehension: “Her phone was her office”.
• Idioms: “get one’s goat”.
• Analogical reasoning tasks: A is to B as C is to D.
• Sayings and proverbs: “Haste makes waste”.
• Divergent naming for creative thinking.
• Language of myths and legends: To cut the Gordian Knot.

All in all, 50-pages of fully scripted, no-preparation-needed, higher language goodness!
