How to Use This Pack

Six pages for speaking and listening. Page 1 plans a story to tell and page 2 a short report. Page 3 is four note cards to cut out and hold while speaking. Page 4 is for listeners: what the speaker said and a question. Page 5 asks students to say the same thing to a friend and to a grown-up at school, and page 6 is a checklist for the speaker and a friend.

In the Classroom

Use page 1 or 2 to plan, then page 3 to turn the plan into a few words on each card. As each student speaks, give two listeners page 4 and let them ask their questions. Act out page 5 in pairs before writing it.

At Home

Let your child tell you about their day using First, Next, Then and Last. Ask one question about what they told you, the way a good listener would.

Tips for Success

  • Tell things in order
  • Add a detail: a sound, a color, a feeling
