The teacher needs to have resources that are able to support  the children in language acquisition at the levels they are - ranging from building/ reinforcing early language skills to grade-appropriate reading materials.  These are not meant to be supplementary resources for the textbook, rather a set of resources for teachers to address the language learning needs of the children, at the level they are.  The resources will focus on building the LSRW skills and will be based both a phonetic approach to language learning as well a whole language approach.  This approach can be used both for first language learning and English - though for English (or any other second language) there needs to be a much longer period of instructional activities for listening.
