Email Comprehension Exercise

This page presents a Reading Comprehension Grade 1 ppt exercise based on an email, helping students practice understanding written communication.

The exercise shows an email from Olivia to Pia, discussing photos of Pia's family flat and Olivia's own family.

Example: "Hi Pia. Thanks for the photos. Your family's flat is very nice. I love the crazy wardrobe in your bedroom - it's COOL! :-)))"

Students are then asked to select correct statements about the email's content from a list of options in German, testing their comprehension and translation skills.

Highlight: This exercise combines reading comprehension with cultural exchange, as it involves communication between friends from different countries.

Numbers to 100

This comprehensive number chart is an essential component of any Grade 1 ppt English lesson on numeracy.

The page presents numbers from 1 to 100 in both numerical and written forms:

• 1 = one, 2 = two, 3 = three, etc.
• 11 = eleven, 12 = twelve, 13 = thirteen, etc.
• 20 = twenty, 30 = thirty, 40 = forty, etc.

Highlight: Special attention is given to the formation of numbers 21-99, showing how to combine tens and ones (e.g., twenty-one).

Vocabulary: The chart introduces important number-related terms like "hundred."

Learning English Animals and Numbers for Young Students

Animals play a vital role in early English language learning. Understanding both singular and plural forms helps build essential vocabulary foundations. Let's explore common pets and animals along with their English translations.

Vocabulary: Common animals in English and their plural forms:

• hamster/hamsters
• horse/horses
• cat/cats
• dog/dogs
• mouse/mice
• rabbit/rabbits
• parrot/parrots
• fish/fishes
• squirrel/squirrels

Numbers form another crucial part of early English education. Students should master counting from 1-100, with special attention to irregular number formations between 11-20. The pattern changes after twenty, following a more logical structure of combining tens and ones (twenty-one, twenty-two, etc.).

Example: Number patterns in English:

• 1-10: one, two, three...
• 11-19: eleven, twelve, thirteen...
• 20-90: twenty, thirty, forty...
• Combinations: twenty-one, thirty-two...

Learning prepositions through practical examples helps students understand spatial relationships. Common prepositions like "in," "on," "under," and "behind" are best taught using visual aids and real-world scenarios.

English Grammar and Communication Skills

Understanding possessive determiners is fundamental for Grade 1 reading words ppt lessons. These words (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) show ownership and relationships between people and objects.

Definition: Possessive determiners show ownership:

• my (belonging to me)
• your (belonging to you)
• his/her/its (belonging to him/her/it)
• our (belonging to us)
• their (belonging to them)

Reading comprehension skills develop through practical exercises like email reading and response tasks. Students learn to extract key information and understand context clues. This connects directly to Reading Comprehension Grade 1 ppt objectives.

Highlight: Key reading comprehension strategies:

• Identifying main ideas
• Understanding context
• Recognizing relationships between ideas
• Drawing conclusions from text

Mediation skills involve transferring information between languages, an essential skill for bilingual education. Students learn to convey meaning accurately while maintaining appropriate cultural context.

Prepositions and Time

This section combines learning about prepositions with telling time, providing practical language skills for young learners.

The page features an illustration of a bedroom scene with various objects, used to teach prepositions such as "in," "on," "under," and "next to."

Example: "Tony is on the bed." "The cup is on the bedside table." "The shoes are under the bed."

Highlight: The clock in the image shows 7:15, integrating time-telling practice with preposition use.

Family and House Description

This page focuses on describing family members and living situations, essential topics for Grade 1 ppt English lessons.

The text describes the Elliot family's house, mentioning:

• A nice garden behind the house
• The house being small with only three bedrooms
• Room allocation for family members

Example: "There are only three bedrooms: one for Mr and Mrs Elliot, one for Luke's sister Irina, and one for Luke and his brother Jamie."

The page also presents a problem-solving exercise, asking students to identify and resolve an issue related to the bedroom situation.

Sentence Completion with Pronouns

This exercise reinforces the use of personal pronouns and the verb "to be," crucial elements in Grade 1 reading words ppt.

Students complete sentences using the correct pronoun and verb form:

• "I'm a mouse."
• "You're crazy, Luke."
• "He's a guinea pig."
• "She's my friend from Germany."

Highlight: The exercise covers all personal pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and their corresponding forms of "to be" (am, are, is).

Example: "Their parents are cool too." This sentence demonstrates the use of the possessive pronoun "their" in context.

Possessive Determiners Exercise

This page provides a practical application of possessive determiners through a letter-writing exercise, ideal for 2nd Grade PowerPoint lessons.

Students complete a letter from Luke's cousin Jan about his family in Poland, filling in the correct possessive determiners:

Example: "I'm Jan and I'm from Poland. I live in Cracow with my parents and my rabbit. His name is Ludvig and he's a cool rabbit."

Highlight: The exercise covers all possessive determiners: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.

Bedroom Description Activity

This activity combines vocabulary related to bedroom items with prepositions of place, making it a comprehensive Grade 1 ppt English lesson.

Students describe a picture of a bedroom using phrases like:

• "There's a clock."
• "There are two beds."
• "There are two cars on the table."

Vocabulary: Key prepositions introduced include "next to," "under," "in front of," "behind," "in the middle of," "on the right," and "on the left."

Example: Students are encouraged to form sentences like "On the right, there's a wardrobe" or "Under the bed, there are some toys."

Reading Comprehension and Translation

This page presents a Reading Comprehension Grade 1 ppt exercise that also incorporates translation skills.

Students read a short text about Holly, who describes her life in London:

Quote: "I'm from London, and I live in a small flat in Greenwich. I live with my mother, my sister and my two guinea pigs. My father is in London too, but he isn't in our flat. Our flat isn't big, but it's OK. I love Greenwich. It's great!"

The exercise then asks students to explain this information in German, as if they were translating for Pia's father who doesn't understand English well.
