Show and Tell Second Edition – Oxford University Press

Authors: Gabby Pritchard, Margaret Whitfield, Kathryn Harper

The Show and Tell Second Edition is an innovative preschool and kindergarten English course that introduces children to language learning through curiosity, creativity, and exploration. Carefully designed for very young learners at the Pre-A1 level, this updated edition builds on Oxford’s trusted methodology while focusing on essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. With engaging stories, songs, games, and hands-on projects, the course helps children prepare for school readiness and future academic success.

Inquiry-Based Learning for Young Learners

At the heart of Show and Tell is an inquiry-based approach that encourages children to explore the world around them. Each unit begins with a Big Question such as “How do we make music?”, “Who makes you happy?”, or “What can you find outside?”. These thought-provoking questions invite children to ask, discover, and share their ideas. This method not only strengthens language development but also nurtures curiosity and problem-solving abilities from the very beginning.

A Complete Learning Experience

Show and Tell Second Edition provides a wide variety of materials to support different learning styles. Children learn through stories, songs, chants, crafts, and simple science experiments. Activities encourage collaboration, peer-to-peer communication, and the development of social values. Early literacy components include systematic phonics, handwriting practice, and letter formation, gradually leading to reading and writing simple sentences. Fine motor skills are supported with craft and tracing activities, while problem-solving tasks build confidence and independent thinking.

Each unit ends with a project that brings together the learning from that theme, giving children a sense of achievement and ownership. These projects also help foster creativity, teamwork, and presentation skills.

Preparing Children for the Future

In today’s world, children need more than just language skills. They need to develop the ability to think critically, work collaboratively, and express their ideas clearly. Show and Tell Second Edition ensures that young learners are not only confident in English but also equipped with the foundation for lifelong learning.

Designed to work seamlessly with Oxford Discover Second Edition, this course allows schools to provide a continuous inquiry-based learning journey from kindergarten through primary education.
