Cnoi Cil: Cymru a'r Bêl Gron

Do you know when the game of football started? There is evidence that a similar game was played in many countries many, many years ago! When was the Football Association of Wales established and what was the process of setting it up? The game has developed quite a bit over the last few years with 2016 being an obvious highlight. Do you know some of the stars of that particular side? You will find answers to these questions and more while reading and discussing this book.

This is a series of 6 Welsh books suitable for reciprocal or team reading. You will get 5 copies of the book and a set of role-playing cards in each pack. Cards include The Predictor, The Leader, The Explainer, The Questioner and The Summariser.

Providing a range of teaching methods to develop pupils' reading skills including reciprocal reading is core to Curriculum for Wales requirements. Learners will work as a team to their skills, through questioning and self-examining, making inferences and determining the importance of the information. The books are divided into five themes, each theme can be the subject of a single lesson or a weekly reading activity. These are the themes for the Cymru a’r Bêl Gron book: The history of the game, Establishing the Football Association of Wales, Welsh Clubs, Promising Players, Euro 2016, and Have your Say.
