‘What the Ladybird Heard’ Paperback Book + Story Sequencing Pictures with Matching Why?/How? Question cards + Why?/How? Definition cards + baseboard + 2 animal counters (ladybird and cow) + dice + tips.
Comes with a comprehensive pack of activities for Why? and How? Questions.
This is a pack of picture card activities linked to the ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ story to support children with story sequencing and answering a range of ‘Why?” And ‘How?’ Questions.
The full length paperback book is included in this pack. It measures 25cm x 25cm and has 12 double pages with text. The story sequencing pictures map onto each double page (sometimes 2 per page).
Why? And How? Questions are a frequent part of school language and of everyday conversation, and regular structured support will benefit a range of children who find these difficult.
There are 16 story sequencing pictures - 1 (sometimes 2) per double page of the book. There are 16 matching question cards, with 3 questions on each, 1-2 Why? Questions and 1-2 How? Questions.
These question cards have simple prompts to give children to help them answer the questions, and are used together with the definition cards which have some example questions on each.
2 animal counters (a ladybird and a cow) and a dice are included for use as a ‘snakes and ladders’ type game where counters can continue to move only if the answers on the corresponding card are answered correctly. This game can be played with an adult or another child.
The ‘Why?’ Pack includes a definition card with starter answers on the back + 5 different activities to help children answer the following ‘Why?’ Questions, which are arranged in approximate order of difficulty:
1. Why are you (doing)….?
2. Why are you (feelings)…?
3. Why did…(something that happened in the past) ?
4. Why do we…? (Everyday activities)
5. Why can’t…? (Negative statements)
The “How?’ Pack includes a definition card with symbols for the range of How questions on the back + 6 different activities to help children answer the following ‘How?’ Questions:
1. How do you know…?
2. How are they the same/different?
