The goal of this lesson, apart from its grammar and lexical objectives, is to encourage Sts to begin reading, as this is a great way to consolidate and expand their knowledge of English. Sts are advised to read “Graded readers” (easy-to- read books that have been simplified according to level). Sts first look at three Starter Level Bookworm Readers, and object pronouns (me, you, him, etc.) are presented through the plot summaries. Sts then look at three sounds (/ai/, /i/, and h!) in Pronunciation.
