Lexical Band Aid 1 (Second Edition Hebrew-Arabic) – for Band I Core I

Lexical Band Aid 1 is the first book in a groundbreaking series for the revised Bands and is APPROVED by the Ministry of Education!

Lexical Band Aid 1 systematically introduces and recycles Band I Core I vocabulary by integrating reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and writing. Featuring light and interesting topics along with a constant review of the vocabulary taught, this book will give your students a feeling of accomplishment as they acquire a large number of vocabulary words and phrases.

Lexical Band Aid 1 can be used in conjunction with a coursebook, as a reinforcement of the vocabulary taught in the book and as a skills sharpener, or as stand-alone books for students who have not acquired the basic vocabulary that appears in the revised Band I Core I.

Lexical Band Aid 1 includes:

• 17 units, which each contain a reading comprehension passage, a listening comprehension passage, and a writing task, all related to the same theme
• Approximately 400 of the most basic vocabulary words and phrases (as well as their derivatives) from revised Band I Core I, all explicitly taught and then recycled numerous times throughout the book
• Free downloadable listening and reading files available on our website
• Free downloadable reviews available on our website (coming soon!)
• A Hebrew / Arabic glossary of all the new words at the end of the book

Recommended for 5th grade and up, depending on the level of your students. Also suitable for intermediate 7th graders / struggling 8th graders.

Please note that both the first edition and the second edition of this book contain the same content. The two additions to the second edition is Arabic translation and a glossary of the new words at the end of the book. Moreover, the illustrations in the second edition are geared toward a general audience, while the illustrations in the first edition are geared toward religious students. If you would like your students to purchase a specific edition of Lexical Band Aid 1, please make sure to specify which edition and give them the right ISBN number, as we are continuing to sell the first edition alongside the second edition.
