READY Teacher's Guide-April 2026 - Flipbook - Page 5
(Bejerano)
In accordance with Bejerano’s approach, the READY program includes both the “WHAT” and the “HOW,”
leading to teaching and learning materials which are academically sound and successful in the
classroom.
4. Structure of the Course Book
The program begins with a review of previously learned Pre-Basic A1 and Basic A1 vocabulary in Getting
Ready. This unit serves as a bridge between the fifth and the sixth grades. Following this are five core units.
Each of these units is further divided into five instructional parts, a central thematic story, a review section,
and an action-oriented performance task (Putting It All Together) to assess the pupils’ progress as they study
with READY. Each of the instructional parts within the unit include teaching of new vocabulary, phonics,
listening, speaking, grammar, reading and writing.
Each unit opens with an introductory page. It presents a set of pictures which allow the pupils to generate
ideas and predict what they will do in the unit. Each set of pictures is organized in a sequential manner thus
promoting maximizing clarity, engagement, retention, and success. In addition, it exhibits a list of the texts
and grammatical concepts that will be presented in the unit, as well as introduces the story which reinforces
the vocabulary and grammar in authentic context.
Pupils are instructed not to write in this book. Instead, pupils are asked to dedicate a notebook to their
English course, where they may organize their work.
The Course Book includes recordings of all the texts and questions.
The answer key for the Course Book appears at the end of the Teacher’s Guide in Appendix II a.
5. Structure of the Workbook
The Workbook follows the structure of the Course Book. Every unit and part within the Course Book has a
parallel unit and part in the Workbook. Where relevant, the Course Book displays references to the
appropriate pages in the Workbook.
The aim of the Workbook is to practice and reinforce the objectives and the benchmarks outlined in the
Course Book. The texts and activities have been designed to cater to the needs of the heterogeneous class.
Activities come in three levels of difficulty:
