Why this why now
This unit expands pupils’ verb lexicon and their ability to manipulate verbs in the present tense, which are key learning for beginner language learners. Now that pupils already know several regular -ar and -er verbs, they learn a new verb ‘jugar’ to play, which includes a stem change. Bringing together knowledge of nouns, adjectives, -ar, -er and irregular verbs enables students to apply their learning to listen and respond to a more extended passage. Trickier sound-symbol correspondences v, b and h are introduced now that pupils are confident with easier sounds.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know a range of key sounds, including vowels and their combinations with 'g' and 'c'.
- Pupils know how to form singular persons of -ar and -er verbs in the present tense.
