Before reading
Before reading • Look at the front cover and discuss in L1 what children can see. Read the title of the book together. Encourage children to hear and say the rhyming sounds in ‘Go, Go, Pogo!’ • Turn to pages 2 and 3. Give children time to look at the picture. Read the names of the main characters with the children or play the audio. Then have children point to the characters and say each name aloud. • Ask What is Pogo? and elicit A cat. Ask Do you like cats? and discuss children’s answers.
After reading • Picture dictionary (page 22): Give children a few minutes to look at the words. Play audio 3 and children point to the words and repeat. Then challenge them to find a picture of each one in the book. • After reading (page 23): Have children order the pictures from the story. Encourage them to say what they can see and what is happening in each picture. Read the story aloud again or play the audio and have children point to the pictures in order as they listen. • Cambridge Starters Exam Preparation (page 23) NOTE: Children can do this individually, with a partner or as a class. Ask the child to look at the picture with the star beside it on page 23 (Maz with her dad on bikes). Play audio 4 or read the script aloud. Allow time after each phrase for the child to respond as they would in the Starters exam. At this level, children may respond by pointing to the correct image or by indicating yes or no physically.
Plenary (note this can be done in L1 or L2 as appropriate) • Ask children if they liked the story. Invite them to find their favourite picture. • Turn to pages 6 and 7, and discuss the types of transport and the places in the neighbourhood that children can see. Ask children which types of transport they like to go on. • Practise the structure Where is Pogo? If possible, hide a toy cat around the room. Say Where is Pogo? and ask children to look for the toy. When they find it, they can say Pogo is here! • Show page 16. Invite children to suggest how Maz is feeling (sad, worried). Show page 20 and ask children to think about how Maz feels when she finds Pogo.

• Look at the cover and ask children to look at the picture. Ask them to say what they can see, using English if possible. Draw attention to the title and ask children, in L1, what they think the story is about. • Turn to pages 2 and 3. Give children a few seconds to look at the picture. Read the characters’ names or play audio track 1. Ask the children to point to each character and say the name. • Describe characters for children to say the names, for example, He’s got grey hair. (Grandpa!)
After reading • Picture dictionary (page 22): Ask children to look at the pictures and the words. Play the audio or read the words aloud for them to listen and repeat. • Use the words from the picture dictionary to ask questions about the story, for example, Where is the cake? (In the living room / on the table) What’s on Banjo’s face? (cake) Who has a secret? (Ivy and Mack) • After reading (page 23): Ask children to look at the pictures and point to them in order. Encourage them to give details about what happens in each picture as they point. • Cambridge Starters Exam Preparation (page 23): NOTE: Children can do this individually, with a partner or as a class. Ask children to look at the starred image of Ivy and Mack looking at the cake on the floor from page 10. Play the audio or read the script aloud. Allow time after each phrase for the learner to respond as they would in the Starters exam.
Plenary (Note: This can be done in L1 or L2 as appropriate) • Go back through the story, asking questions about the pictures on each page, for example, Where are Ivy and Mack? (In the garden.) Who is in the house? (Grandpa) • Ask children to look at the cake on pages 8 and 9 and describe it in English, for example, It’s big. There’s fruit on it. It’s white, green, red, pink and purple. Ask Is Grandpa’s cake good? Teach the words ’yummy’ and ‘yuk’ with actions and have children mime and say how they feel about the cake. • Look at the pictures of Ivy and Mack throughout the story and discuss their feelings. Ask children to describe Ivy and Mack’s emotions and explain why they feel that way. Discuss the moral issues of the story. What did the children do that was wrong? (They lied about the cake.) Did they do the right thing in the end? (Yes, they did.) Ask children if they have ever told a lie about something. How did it make them feel? Did they tell the truth and say sorry afterwards?

Jim showed the party invitation to Mum. “Fantastic!” said Mum. “It’s a monster party!” “Oh,” said Jim. “What’s a monster party?” “People wear monster costumes,” said Mum. “A monster party has monster food and monster games.”
Now Jim was worried. He thought about monsters playing games. He thought about monster food.
Rock pools are pools of water between the rocks. They are home to crabs and small fish. Can you see the crab hiding under the rock?
“I think monster parties are scary!” he said.
You can catch a crab with a rod and line. Put some meat on the end of the line and drop it into the pool. When the crab takes the meat, pull the line out of the water.
Challenging terms have ageappropriate definitions provided in a Mini-dictionary, based on Collins COBUILD.
You can make a little fish trap from a plastic bottle. This fish trap catches small fish like minnows. Minnows live in streams, rivers and lakes. Put some bread in the trap. Then put the trap in the water. Let it fall to the bottom. The minnows see the bread and swim inside the trap.
