English Language Learners

C5 vocab word list
5/8/2018
The curriculum team was able to respond and provide me with the attached document, which lists vocabulary words from Core5 Levels 1-9. It is not an exhaustive list of all of the words in the program, but I hope it helps! We are hoping to have a Core5 vocabulary list available in the Resources Hub at some point in the future, but do not currently have a time frame. 

NOTE: Core5 uses Brazilian Portuguese

Ways to Introduce students

A client asked if there was a quick introduction video just for the kiddos (not for teachers) to watch that maybe gives them an overview or a "get started" fun video? If there is something like this, can you send me a link? 

My colleague Suzy responded.
There is not, but i’v had teachers use the video on this page with both parents and students.  It's a different purpose— more of a “rah rah” than how to, but it’s uplifting.


Most of our teachers use the Teacher Demo and explain the red apple, progress bars, and the rest of the icons.  Hope this helps.  I think Beth is on a webinar right now, but she always has wonderful ideas up her sleeve! She’ll be able to chime in later.

It might be fun to use an interactive white board and have students work through an activity together.

Thank you for your question. There are no instructional videos for students, but teachers can certainly use the demo version to walk their students through the program. Core5 also actively explains itself to students as they go along. I have let our developers know that instructional videos for students is a desired feature (JIRA ticket LIM-1707)
