¡Cuéntame! Teacher’s Manual –  280 pages of comprehensive lessons

This popular program for 4th-6th grades features 25 whimsical (mis)-adventures of Gabi the cat. Each engaging episode is based on a handful of high-frequency vocabulary that is naturally recycled in each subsequent episode. Language acquisition is efficiently achieved by following the comprehensive lessons, which provide step-by-step instructions for facilitating acquisition. Acquisition is fostered through TPR, age- and level-appropriate questions and story scripts for engaging students in co-construction of a story. Strategically written mini-stories also provide rich exposure to the target language in a comprehensible and compelling way.

Features:

• an concise instruction for working with stories
• activities for introducing new vocabulary
• two alternative stories for each story in the student book
• ideas for discussions and conversation
• answer keys and instructions for the exercises in the student book
