there are a few exceptions: The vocabulary practice page in the Activity Book is designed to be used with the second vocabulary lesson in the Pupil’s Book. There is
one practice page in the Activity Book for the two-page story in the Pupil’s Book. And for the listening/speaking lessons, there are two practice pages in the Activity
Book for the speaking lesson in the Pupil’s Book instead of one for listening and one for speaking.

Dear parents/guardians,
Welcome to the second level of My Little Island. We hope that your child will continue to enjoy learning English
with this engaging and exciting course.
The course’s carefully developed lessons offer a wide range of activities that will give your child a solid
foundation for learning English. The focus on using and associating natural gestures and actions with
vocabulary helps children bring meaning to the words they are learning.
In the second book of the course, your child will explore the island with two new characters – Billy and Lilly –
and will learn vocabulary and language structures related to these unit themes:
✓ My School ✓ My House ✓ On the Farm
✓ Family ✓ My Body ✓ The Weather
✓ Play Time! ✓ Time to Eat!
At this level, children will be reviewing some basic consonant sounds, as well as learning new ones as they
begin to associate sounds with letters – an important step in learning to read.
Two new lessons, along with a practice lesson for each thematic unit, will help your child develop listening and
speaking skills. You’ll probably notice that your child enjoys engaging in conversations! You can help your child
by asking and answering questions about each unit’s vocabulary and content. You can also listen to the course’s
CD-ROM and Songs and Chants CD with your child.
Your child learns a lot in the classroom, but support at home is essential to success. Here are few things you
can do:
✓ talk with your child about what he/she is doing and learning about in English class
✓ encourage your child to “teach” you new words, as well as songs and chants
✓ be enthusiastic about your child’s achievements and progress
✓ use the CD-ROM to do the activities together
✓ be supportive of small steps as these will lead to bigger ones
We wish your child great success and a wonderful time learning English with My Little Island.
Yours sincerely,
*Note to teachers: Letters for Units 1–9 can be found on the website, www.pearsonelt.com/mylittleisland.

Divide the class in several groups. Copy familiar Flashcards and
provide each group with a set. Call out a consonant sound that
the children know. For a given amount of time, let the children
put Flashcards that begin with that sound into a pile. Award
groups one point for each correct word.
