Texto para interpretação (nível básico)

Achei esse texto em um site, infelizmente não me lembro o nome. Fiz umas pequenas mudanças no texto e passei para o powerpoint, acho q fica mais fácil de ler. O texto foi escrito por um menino Inglês de 10 anos e contém uma linguagem bem simples. Bom para quem está no nível básico ou começando.

Alfabeto fofinho

Nas minhas andanças pela internet achei muitos vídeos de alfabeto, todos bem infantis e bobos. Mas esse apesar de infantil é muito fofo! O mais bonitinho so far!

The th sound

Encontrei esse vídeo na internet outro dia, é muito bom pra treinar a pronúncia do th! lembrem-se, ouvir e imitar, não é repetir! Espero que ajude!
