Presentation Dear Teacher, Welcome to Beats! 2 Primary - Facts Big Book where you will find interesting facts to teach your students about different and important topics about themselves, about others and about the world around us. Teaching a foreign language at this age using interesting, studentage centered topics such as facts gives you a great opportunity to set an interesting and very enjoyable learning environment for reading, where children become more curious, ask about what they are listening to and feel encouraged to use the language they are learning in a natural way. In this Fact Big Book you will find daily life topics related to the immediate world that surrounds your students; also, each reading text is directly correlated to a specific unit in the Activity book which improves and increases vocabulary as students start developing critical thinking skills as well as reading strategies such as identifying letters, differentiating graphical elements from written words, following a reading, reading comprehension as well as working on listening skills since every text has been recorded and included in the audio CD that comes with your Teacher’s Edition book. However, the most important fact about encouraging children at this age to follow a reading is awakening the desire and joy for reading. And this is what Beats! Big Books -Facts and Stories are specially meant for, to help you teach children to read through fun and culture. In this Facts Big Book, you will find a Flashcards section at the end of the book aimed at helping you convey a clearer meaning of vocabulary and expressions to the children. Feel free to use them any time you may wish or need for students to improve understanding at using the language. Flashcards are a great tool to engage children in vocabulary games (write up a word have them look in a pile of flashcards for the matching one and others), build up texts, and other activities as well. Finally, we are sure you and your students will enjoy sharing, listening and reading aloud the contents in this Facts Big Book as you all start beating to the rhythm of reading! The Author. 3
