Practise by listening to a native speaker model. Read aloud words and phrases which they can pronounce accurately, using coloured cards, interactive whiteboard, the board or storybooks. Play Pass the Word Parcel: listening to authentic music or songs, the children pass round the circle a bag containing familiar word cards. Each time the music stops, the child holding the bag takes out one word card and reads it aloud. The other children echo the word and the teacher corrects the pronunciation if necessary. The word card is placed in the middle of the circle and the music re-starts. Follow-up activities: 1. When all the cards are out of the bag and in the circle the children sort them into dictionary order. 2. The children sort the words into categories, e.g. nouns, verbs, adjectives. Listen for words from a particular word class. The teacher reads aloud a sentence or a short text. The children take a Lego brick every time they hear a particular kind of word, e.g. verb, preposition, noun. Make collections of words, e.g. with common endings.
