Description: This boom card deck features four short, illustrated stories designed to teach regular past tense verbs (e.g., played, painted, hugged) through implicit instruction. Each story is made up of 12 simple, engaging sentences, with one sentence per card and a regular past tense verb naturally embedded in context. 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 regular past tense, 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
