Elementary School Resources and Lessons

The Elementary Curriculum is intended to help new ALTs who may not have any teaching experience. The Elementary Curriculum provides a set of lesson plans for an entire year of elementary school (depending on how often you teach). It is based on the elementary school textbooks currently used in Saitama prefecture. In 2018, the Japanese government increased the amount of English education in elementary schools. English education was extended to the 3rd and 4th grade levels with the Let's Try! series of books and increased for the 5th and 6th grades with the We Can! series.
