Description
Students learn and practise: polite words (please, thank you, excuse me, sorry), asking permission (May I go to the restroom?), saying you don't understand (Can you say that again, please? What does ___ mean?) and asking a classmate for help (ESL newcomers). STEP 3 of English for Newcomers: First Week of School (7 decks, bundle 20% off), for ESL / ELL. English audio (normal + slow), pictures, a short Spanish help line on learn cards, and a read-aloud button on every question. Story: Day 2: Ms. Lane's help box opens for students who ask for help the right way. 4 rooms, 30 cards. HOW IT WORKS - Room 1: please, thank you, sorry, you're welcome. - Room 2: May I...? and the teacher's answers. - Room 3: I don't understand. Can you say that again? - Room 4: the right words for each problem. SELF-CHECKING WITH HINTS 20 scored cards: taps and typed answers (a word or a number), 2 hints each, answer cards that explain. ACCURACY Answers checked by software; English + Spanish by 3 AI reviews and speech recognition; AI testers solved it. Not class-tested. SOURCES Topics and levels follow the WIDA ELD Standards Framework (2020) and CEFR Pre-A1/A1. No endorsement. HOW IT WAS MADE Text: AI help, checked. Art in code.
