3 EDUCATOR SECTION
4 Memorandum
In Grade 2 the learners will build new experiences in the additional language on those learnt in Grade 1
as well as those learnt in their Home Language. They will continue to need many listening and speaking
opportunities so as to develop their reading and writing skills in Grade 2.
A wide vocabulary is very important. The ICS modules for Grade 2 provide opportunities for the revision
of Grade 1 vocabulary and they gradually introduce and consolidate new vocabulary by means of poems,
rhymes, stories, riddles and jokes and games to play.
Learners are encouraged to answer questions, and to take part in discussions and conversations on familiar
topics.
The attention is drawn to the sounds of letters in the additional language and learners discover that some
letters sound the same as in their home language whereas others dier.
Although the educator will attend to correct pronunciation at this stage, learners should always be
encouraged to speak the additional language without feeling incompetent and self-conscious.
By keeping the dictionary pages at the end of each module in a le, learners can revise the vocabulary
and use these lists as a personal dictionary to which they can refer when completing or writing sentences
and stories.
Time scheduled for the modules 1 to 8
It is suggested that the average learners complete all eight modules during the year, completing
±
two
modules per term.
The slower learners will proceed at their own pace while the quick learners can be given more tasks if
necessary.
All learners in Grade 2 should be exposed to all the listening, speaking and reading activities in these
eight modules to ensure that progression occurs throughout.
Cas is one of many creatures living in the hedge around Farmer Brown's farm. The characteristics of
chameleons and the dangers which they must confront are described in the stories and poem to be listened
to and read.
More nursery rhymes, riddles and phonic exercises are included.
