Lesson details
Key learning points

Listening - paying attention to what someone is saying

Common misconception
Pupils may speak too quietly and find it hard to speak in full sentences.
Display the visuals for successful speaking and listening in your classroom. Ensure pupils are confident in what they are going to say - they could practise their show and tell at home or with a teacher prior to delivering it in front of the class.
Provide specific topics for 'show and tell' each week e.g. special item / something from holiday / my favourite book / something from my culture / a family celebration.
