A set of sentence making cards. Each card is composed of a picture and small words cards which can be attached to the card using velcro dots or magnet stickers.
The error control comes in the form of strips with correct sentences. Those can be stuck onto the back of each card using double sided tape (preferably before laminating) or attached to the bottom of each card using sellotape. The latter option will make the error contol strips fold and hide behind the card (see the photos).
The cards help practise the difference between the singular "it is" and plural "they are", as well as the use of 'a' before singular nouns and the -s- suffix at the end of plural nouns.
The pictures used in the set correspond with the ones used in the Pets 1 and Pets 2 Vocab Enrichment Sets avaulable in the shop.

I've been an English teachers for over 15 years now and I love what I do. It took me many years to realise what age group I like working with the most: kids and pre-teens. It also took me some time to realise how much I dislike testing, grading and useless paperwork, in other words, all the things that stop me from doing what I am supposed to be doing: being with my students. There are two quotes from Maria Montessori that sum up exactly what I do and what I strive for: "The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist." & "The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult." The moments I can drink coffee and just watch my students working away, not needing me, are my favourite. This is why I plan my lessons in a way that limits my involvement to the absolute minimum. This is also why I create materials which allow students to check and correct their own mistakes.
And for those of you who'd like to know: I studied Early Years Education with TEFL at Gdansk University for 3 years. After getting my Bachelor's degree, I went on to study English Philology for another 5 years, graduating with a Master's degree. The final mark on my diploma says "Excellent" 🙂 Recently, I have also completed a Montessori and autonomous language learning based training course for teachers of second languages at Montessori Stiftung Berlin. I'm also an AMI certified Montessori 6 -12 Assistant.
