A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Keep the page-3 key separate. Use the library visits warm-up, then match visit, early, busy, choose, helpful and enjoy on page 1.
- Read the three numbered paragraphs together, checking who and where before asking learners to find details independently.
- Locate the librarian, the two books and Leo's plan for next week; practise he in full-sentence answers.
- Discuss books and library services, then plan the 60–80-word paragraph about a book, film or story and why the learner enjoys it.
Support and extension
Support with It is about… I like it because… Allow oral rehearsal before writing and accept accurate paraphrases of the key. Extend by asking pairs to recommend a story to a partner with one reason.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
