Activity 15
              • Before playing the track, tell
               students to scan the poem
          rack 16  themselves with the content. If
               so that they can acquaint
               necessary, elicit what happens
           T   in the poem.
              • To help your students, you could
               ask them how to pronounce the
               words in brackets, check if they
               notice anything and go through
               the REMEMBER with them.
              • Play the track twice and give
               them time to fill in the blanks.
               Help them notice how the
               same sound may be spelled
               in different ways. Instead of
               having them learn by rote, it
               is important for them to pay
               attention to the words before
               and after an unknown word,
               since they give clues to
               its meaning.

              • Remind your students that
               in other kinds of interactions
               (especially face-to-face), they
               could ask for the word to be
               spelled out.

              Activity 16
              • Rhythm also allows us to
               understand complex pairs
               of words that change their
               meaning according to the position of the stressed syllable (for example, record-verb, with stress on the
               second syllable; record-noun, with stress on the first syllable).

              • Sight-sound correspondences in English are an important issue than can help your students predict the
               pronunciation of a word. Although it seems unpredictable, there are three general guidelines: spelling is
               largely alphabetic, except for some affixes (that change according to the initial or final sound of the word
               they attach to) and when the etymology of a word needs to be shown.
