Unit 4

Dear Parent/Caregiver,

Your child is about to start Unit 4 of their English coursebook American Tiger 1.

In this unit your child will learn to identify different foods and talk about whether they come from plants or
animals. They will also learn to read and write these words. They will also identify numbers 1 to 20. They
will listen to the unit story Dinner Time and the cartoon story with Ping and Pong. They will also sing and
act out the songs I don’t like sausages and Bananas are fruit, and say Tiger’s word chant. In addition, your
child will sing a song Ten fat sausages and will identify healthy snacks some children eat. Pronunciation
practice of the sound ‘ee’ and ‘ea’ will be provided through fun activities and tongue twisters. Finally, the
children will complete their American Tiger Progress Journal.

The songs, together with some fun vocabulary activities, are included in the Student’s Practice Kit (access
code in the front of the Student’s Book). Please take the time to look at this online material with your child.
