Reinforcement worksheet 1� Students look at the chart and cross out the letters

that appear more than once. They write the remaining letters on the dashes and then unscramble them to discover the hidden color.

Key: brown, black.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students prepare a similar puzzle. First they write the color they have chosen, then they fill in the remaining squares. Students swap and complete the puzzles.

Reinforcement worksheet 2� Students read the colors at the top of the page and

follow the spaghetti lines to the pencils underneath. They color each pencil accordingly and write the name of the color on the dashes.

Key: 1 blue, 2 brown, 3 white, 4 green, 5 gray, 6 yellow, 7 pink, 8 orange, 9 purple, 10 red, 11 black.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students work in pairs, A and B. Student A spells one of the color words. Student B identifies the correct color and finds an example of it in the classroom. Students A and B exchange roles.

Extension worksheet 1 � Students write the three numbers at the top of the

page, putting one letter on each dash. They then use those same letters to fill in the blanks in the second part of the exercise. Finally, they write the words in the correct column in the chart.

Key: Colors: red, purple, yellow, blue, gray, pink, green, orange, white, brown; Numbers: fifteen, eleven, thirteen, seventeen, ten, nineteen, sixteen, fourteen, eighteen, twelve, twenty.

� Optional follow-up activity: Student A chooses a color, writes it on a slip of paper and counts how many items there are of that color in the classroom. He/She then says the number aloud, and Student B has to guess the color. Students then swap roles.

Extension worksheet 2� This can be done as a listening exercise (Track 2) or a

reading exercise. Students read each of the speech bubbles and decide which scene it belongs to. They write the scene number in the small accompanying box.

Key: 2, 5, 6, 3, 1, 4.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students work in groups. They take turns reading one of the speech bubbles. The first person to say the next line of the dialog in the story takes the next turn.

Song worksheet� Explain that the letter b sounds like another eight

letters (the letters are best friends), whereas the letter f sounds like another five letters.

� Students listen to the chant (Track 3) and circle the letters that sound like b. The second time, they circle the letters that sound like f. Ask students to write the letters that sound alike on the dashes, and to color the letters that sound like b one color and those that sound like f another.

Key: Letters that sound like b: c, d, e, g, p, t, v, z. Letters that sound like f: l, m, n, s, x.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students work in groups. They create a chant for b’s or f ’s best friends. Students perform their chants to the class.

Key: 1 desk, 2 bookcase, 3 board, 4 ruler, 5 cupboard, 6 teacher.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students turn over their worksheets and write questions about different classroom objects. Students then swap worksheets and answer the questions.

trail in the word maze from in to out. Students then write the words below the pictures.

Key: 1 cupboard, 2 teacher, 3 desk, 4 bookcase, 5 ruler, 6 board.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students work in pairs, A and B. Student A spells aloud one of the words from the worksheet. Student B says the word. Students exchange roles.

Extension worksheet 1� The code gives the color of each book. Words with an

initial letter b are colored gray, those with an initial letter c, blue, etc. Students look at the picture on each book, write the name of the object under the correct heading, and color in the book.

Key: 1 book, 2 board, 3 bookcase, 4 bag, 5 cupboard, 6 computer, 7 desk, 8 pencil, 9 pen, 10 table, 11 teacher, 12 ruler, 13 eraser.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students write as many words as possible (from any lexical set) beginning with the initial letters used in the exercise. They then compare their lists by taking turns reading them.

Extension worksheet 2� This can be done as a listening exercise (Track 4) or a

reading exercise. Students match the scenes from the story with the missing text.

Key: 5, 4, 2, 6, 1, 3.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students work in pairs and play Pelmanism. They cut out the cards and join the two decks. Then they place the cards face down on the desk and turn over two cards at a time. If the cards show a scene and the missing text, they form a pair. When a student finds a pair, he/she reads the text and then takes another turn. When the cards do not form a pair, he/she puts the cards face down on the desk once more. The winner is the student with the most pairs at the end of the game.

Song worksheet� Students cut out the cards and place them in a row

under the classroom scene. You may wish to ask students to fold the page so that the lyrics are hidden. Students listen to the song (Track 5) and place the objects in the correct position.

� Optional follow-up activity: Students work in pairs, A and B. Student A says a sentence, e.g., The teacher is on the bookcase. Student B places the card accordingly. Students exchange roles.
