Adventure, in the Writing section of the Project Depot, is a great way for your young learners to practice their writing skills.
All Sprout English’s writing activities include vocabulary words and phrases that are related to the writing topic. Your students will not only learn new words, but will also be more likely to remember them because they’ll use them in context in their writing. The phrases are designed to get students’ imagination going. Students must work them into their stories. (more…)
Baseball, in the Sports section of the Color Mart, is our Lesson of the Week.

Students can practice this structure with the included speaking and writing exercises. (more…)
This week’s featured lesson is Team Sports from the Sports & Leisure section in the Word Bank.

Your students won’t get bored with this wide variety of activities, including a picture dictionary, a matchup exercise, a word choice exercise, a word search puzzle, a word scramble activity, and a spelling bee. Best of all, your students will be able to put these words to use in the “Question Time” section, where they can practice their speaking and writing skills. Go team! (more…)
