A warm welcome to the Intermediate English Course. This is a ‘Reading and Grammar’ bridge course which touches upon important comprehension skills and grammar topics. These skills are particularly important for students to help them become better readers. While you teach; Identify vocabulary words that you think might be difficult for students to understand when they read the text. Model think-alouds. For example: verbalize a confusing point or show how you use a strategy to comprehend something. "This sounds very confusing to me. I better read this sentence again." Demonstrate fix-up strategies. For example: “I need to think about this. Let me rethink what was happening. Maybe I'll reread this. I'll read ahead for a moment.”
A lesson plan, worksheet, deck , and an answer key can be found for each topic. Have fun teaching!
