Download or read book Reading Fundamentals Idioms written by Carolyn Hurst and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strengthen reading comprehension, reading fluency, and writing skills with the lessons in Barker Creek's popular Reading Fundamentals - Idioms Activity Book. Because the actual meaning of idioms differ from the literal meaning of the words used to construct them, idioms are one of the most difficult concepts English Language Learners have to master in order to truly understand our complex language. The hands-on-lessons in this activity book help students understand the meaning of 20 commonly used idioms. For each example given, students are asked to 1) draw the "literal" meaning of the idiom (for example, they are asked to draw "a piece of cake"), 2) explain, in their own words, what they think the idiom means, 3) color an illustrated definition of the idiom's actual meaning and then add this definition to their student created "Idioms Booklets," and 4) define the meaning of the idiom as used within the context of a short story. Two review tests are included to assess student understanding. Create at least 50 additional lessons using the Reproducible Templates and list of More Idioms also included in this book. Reading Fundamentals - Idioms is one of nine titles in Barker Creek's top-selling Reading Fundamentals Book Series. Companion chart sets are also available.

Download or read book Reading Fundamentals for Preschool and Primary Children written by Robert L. Hillerich and published by Merrill Publishing Company. This book was released on 1977 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a sequence of rereading and reading skills deemed essential for individuals at the pre-reading and early reading levels. Beginning with the elements of language development, it moves through basic decoding and comprehension skills. While this book could be used as a cookbook, hopefully it will not be. The skills and methods are the warp and woof of the philosophy of reading and are supported by research evidence to encourage a deeper understanding of the reading process and of the most effective means of helping children to master that process. Much of this book is devoted to an explanation of the why of instruction. Unless we as teachers constantly evaluate why, we get into a rut and continue doing what we have always done and only because we have always done it. The contents are limited to reading and reading related activities. - Introduction.
Download or read book English Basics 2017 written by Robert Proctor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has ever learned a new language knows that the hardest part is learning how to use expressions, or idioms, correctly. Idioms are not easily understood by the words they use. For example, if an English learner hears, "This jacket costs an arm and a leg," he or she can become very confused. Or if they hear a weatherperson say, "It's raining cats and dogs," they may look outside expecting to see cats and dogs falling from the sky. However, idioms are used throughout conversations on a daily basis. Therefore, it is extremely important that the English learner understand the complicated meanings in order to fully participate in the American experience. "English Basics: Your Complete Guide to American Idioms" is the perfect way for English language learners to navigate the challenging use of American idioms in everyday conversation. Each volume in this series focuses on 80 idioms commonly used today. Idioms are put in groups of 4 so the student doesn't get overwhelmed. After the student masters the 4 idioms, there is an assessment to determine if he or she is ready for the next set. Definition: First, the idiom is introduced. Then, a definition or definitions are given that give different understandings of the idiom. Explanation: After that, the idiom is explained in depth, talking about its origin and literal meaning. Grammar Watch: This section explains how the idiom is used properly in a sentence and whether it is a verb, adjective, noun, etc. Examples: Once the student has a basic understanding of the idiom, three examples show the student how the idiom is used in context, focusing on verbs in different tenses. Reading Comprehension: The four idioms in each group are used in an original reading that helps the student see how the idioms can be used together. Self Test: The self-test after each group of 4 idioms gives the student an opportunity to test his or her ability to recognize whether or not the idiom is being used correctly. Simply read the sentence and write 'correct' or 'incorrect' after the sentence. The correct answers are given below.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Formulaic Language written by David Wood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to address formulaic language directly and provide a foundation of knowledge for graduates and researchers in early stages of study of this important language phenomenon. It is also suitable for students of linguistics, applied linguistics, and language teacher education. The information that currently exists is scattered throughout articles and book chapters across a range of subfields of linguistics and applied linguistics. Over the past few decades there has been a steadily increasing interest and research focus on the phenomenon of formulaic language in the fields of linguistics and applied linguistics. Slowly, a consistent definition has emerged, centring around the idea that formulaic sequences are multi-word units with specific meanings or functions, and some evidence points to their being processed mentally as wholes. Researchers from diverse backgrounds have identified the nature and roles of formulaic sequences in language acquisition and production, in the construction of text and discourse, in spoken and written language, and in language teaching. The increasing volume, diversity, and complexity of the state of knowledge about this emerging area of study is marshalled by this intelligent and well-written book.
