From the author

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognize and pronounce a wide range of house-and-home vocabulary, from common items like a pillow and a chair to specialized terms like Venetian blinds and an extension cord.

  • Use the word bank as prompts for a spoken guessing game, describing or asking about a hidden object drawn from the list.

Teaching tips

  • Select a subset of the roughly fifty words on each page to match your class's proficiency level, since the list mixes basic vocabulary (a chair, a pillow) with more advanced terms (Venetian blinds, an extension cord).

  • Print or project a page for the whole class, since the pages are word banks only with no images to support unfamiliar terms.

  • Explain slash-separated related words individually: towel and napkin, landlord and owner, and closet and pantry are not interchangeable in every context. Model yes/no questions before play.

Skills covered

  • Household vocabulary
