Daily Warm-ups Reading

Dostala se mi do ruky knížka Daily Warm-ups Reading (Grade 3) z nakladatelství Teacher Created Resources (od Shelle Russell). No a nedá mi to. Proč nemůžou být podobné knížky v češtině? Nebo tu jsou a já na ně jenom nenarazila?

Každopádně i dětem, které se učí anglicky, se tahle publikace určitě bude hodit. Na 175 stranách tu děti (rodiče, učitelé) najdou krátké příběhy – ať už vymyšlené nebo tzv. non-fiction – včetně otázek, které čtenáře vyzkouší, jak textu porozuměl. Každý příběh i s otázkami zabere jednu stránku. Vše je černobílé a může tedy svádět ke kopírování pro celou třídu.

Knížka je psána pro level 3 v americké školské soustavě. Co se týče použití v hodinách angličtiny, viděla bych to na úroveň PRE-INTERMEDIATE. Na konci knížky jsou samozřejmě správné výsledky a nechybí ani certifikát pro děti, které úkoly zvládly.
