How to Use This Pack

Five planners. Children draw in the big box first, then trace the starter and add a word or two. The drawing and the starters are what they hold while they speak. Page 1 is for show and tell, page 2 for describing anything, page 3 for telling a day in order and page 4 for a place. Page 5 is for listening: children draw what a friend told about and plan a question to ask.

In the Classroom

Send a show and tell planner home the day before, so children come ready. When they share, let them hold the page and read the starters aloud as they go. Give listeners page 5 and call on two or three to ask their questions.

At Home

Help your child pick something to show, then draw it together. Practice telling it at the table, starting each part with the starters on the page.

Tips for Success

  • Draw it first
