AFRIKAANS THE INTRODUCTORY PROGRAMME - Ant Books

AFRIKAANS

More and more schools are turning to us for Afrikaans material, and our range is growing at an exponential rate. We now have an Afrikaans Programme for the whole primary school.

THE INTRODUCTORY PROGRAMME

THIS IS AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, AFRIKAANS AND ZULU. See p15 for details.

THE AFRIKAANS READER PROGRAMME

Developed for Grades 3 to 7. Grades reader material with accompanying workbooks to cover all aspects of Afrikaans, from reading to speaking to writing and comprehending.

Set out in grades here ? NOTE: ALL GRADES ARE A RECOMMENDATION ONLY.

Each Vlak consists of 8 readers of the same level ? so different classes within a grade can all start on different books at the same time and swop them;

Each reader has accompanying exercises to last for two weeks, therefore each Programme lasts 16 weeks / grade;

Extend the life of the reader for a third week by doing drama, little plays and skits based on the reader, in the third week, before moving on to the next reader;

All the stories focus on the same family ? three children and their parents ? in different (South African) situations. The main character is a mischievous boy called "Neels", and the stories are meant to be light-hearted and amusing, to sustain interest;

All grades: If the children are weak at Afrikaans, I recommend each grade starts with the level for the grade below, before moving onto their recommended level;

The Werkboeke contain exercises on comprehension, cloze, language work, sounds, spelling, writing, sentence construction, vocab development and extension, as well as "fun" exercises. All are based on the readers. As with all the Ant Books, the emphasis is on teaching, with a great deal of repetition, drill and practice ? but in concise, "digestible" chunks.

The last MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the Programme is that the children MUST READ THE SAME READER EVERY SCHOOL DAY FOR THREE WEEKS. Spend two weeks doing the reader and workbooks formally, then the third week in preparing and performing skits based on the reader.

* AFRIKAANS READING PROGRAMME comes with detailed teacher guides.
