Pathway to Literature is a literature course designed to accompany our primary series. Each level is full of stories and comics that will expand students’ vocabulary and build on their knowledge of common expressions. Colorful illustrations, fascinating characters, and a variety of genres will help students to enjoy reading in English.
Pathway to Literature comes with a digital manual for teachers to guide the development of students’ reading skills. Each unit provides three core lessons and two extra lessons with integrated skills and cross-curricular extension activities.
Lesson 1: Introduces the theme of the story, provides vocabulary support and teaches students to make predictions to increase their understanding as they read. |
Lesson 2: Students read the story and follow a clear, natural audio recording. Comprehension and strategy activities check students’ understanding and build their reading skills. |
Lesson 3: Provides additional reading support through character analysis, summarizing and a range of strategy-based activities. Lesson 3 also includes an integrated writing task. |
Extra Lesson A: Gives students a chance to focus on speaking skills such as pronunciation, fluency and giving descriptions. Students participate in role-play activities, acting out scenes or alternate endings and play interactive games. |
Extra Lesson B: Provides additional vocabulary development and a crosscurriculum activity linking students’ new knowledge and skills to other academic subject areas. |
