The activities in the lessons are organized to develop
reading, writing, speaking, listening and grammar skills in
Tagalog. Each thematic lesson contains the following sections:
pre-activity, presentation of the lesson (dialogs from the
book), vocabulary, and reading, and writing activity. These
sections are described below.
1.
Pre-activity
This is an activity presented as an e-mail quiz, word drag and
drop quiz, or picture drag and drop quiz, and/or a song or
poem/rhyme. This activity prepares and helps learners get ready
for the presentation of the lesson (dialog) and the reading and
writing activity.

Presentation of the Lesson
This is a written dialog (conversation) with audio presentation.
Learners will listen to and read dialog utterances of people
in many cultural (Filipino) situations. The dialogs are theme
specific. This section will help learners practice their
listening, reading, and pronunciation skills
in Tagalog/Filipino.

Words to help learners build their vocabulary for a specific
theme are also included. These words prepare learners for the
reading and writing activities. A dictionary applet is also
included to help learners look up unfamiliar words.

Reading and Writing Activities
This is a variety of quizzes, narratives, and (in some
pages) cultural notes. Most of the quizzes are based on the
dialogs and some are based on reading a text. The quizzes
could be multiple- choice questions, short answer questions, or
fill-in the blanks.
