Description: This interactive boom card deck features four engaging short stories designed to support language development through implicit instruction of present progressive (-ing) verbs. Each story includes 12 illustrated sentences, with one sentence per card, providing consistent and meaningful exposure to verbs in the present progressive form (e.g., is running, are jumping). Audio recordings are available for additional auditory bombardment or to facilitate independent practice. Why Implicit Instruction? This resource uses implicit language teaching, which means learners are exposed to the target grammar form without being directly taught the rule. Instead of defining or explaining “present progressive,” students hear and see the structure used naturally and repeatedly. This type of instruction: - Builds grammatical awareness through immersion - Supports natural language acquisition - Is especially effective for students who struggle with traditional grammar lessons or benefit from more contextualized input
