Teachers’ Notes

Easy Punctuation is the fourth

book in the Easy English Series for

students learning English as a Second

Language as well as Aboriginal

students learning English as a Second

Dialect, that is, students who are

coming into the school system having

little or no experience of English

ESL/ESD learners need an explicit,

methodical and planned language

program that can be integrated into

their class work in all key learning areas

It is important for the teacher to

establish a supportive classroom

environment where the student’s

first language and culture are valued

This will nurture the student’s

self-esteem and encourage him or her to

gain confidence in the early stages of

learning a new language Use of

co-operative learning strategies and peer

tutoring will help the student build

social friendships which are an integral

part of developing language skills

It is important for the teacher to

be aware that using short, positive

sentences is best for the learner

The teacher must provide time for

the student to process statements

and instructions and always check for the student’s understanding

The teacher’s gestures and facial expressions plus visual clues (photos, pictures, objects, etc) will help the student make meaning Regular and positive feedback from the teacher will consolidate the student’s sense

of achievement and encourage the student’s self confidence

Easy Punctuation (Book 4) builds on

the thematic vocabulary introduced

in Easy Words (Book 1) and uses examples from the stories in Easy Read

and Write (Book 2) and More Easy Read and Write (Book 3) Each double

page features a punctuation topic and activities based on that topic to provide easy reference for the student and to build the student’s confidence and skills

Other books in the series focus on reading, writing, punctuation and grammar, text types and the skills

of editing and proofreading
