A Very Brief History of the English Language
Alphabet - sounding out letters
A very brief history of the English Language (2).pdfI created a book for adult literacy learners to help them understand the many influences on the English language. It explores the various settlers and invaders of England, the impact of the printing press, The Enlightenment, and borrowing of words from peoples colonised during the British Empire.
I am currently creating related activities to complement the content.
Alphabet (5).pdfCreated a booklet for a learner who is at starting points on the Adult Learning Progressions. Each letter sounded out. Also uploaded it as a video to YouTube so he could practice his phonological awareness at home.
