Using it in class
Teacher reads every short text, question and choice aloud; reread on request. Give quiet thinking time, then partner talk. Ask pupils to point out the words that support their answer. Use short rounds. These original texts support listening comprehension, not independent decoding assessment.
Give everyone time to think and discuss before one pupil acts at the board. The class explains and confirms together; hints and explanations stay until you move on.
Use an up-to-date browser on a computer connected to a whiteboard or shared display. Touch, mouse and keyboard; optional audio and reduced motion. No pupil accounts or personal devices.
Choose from 5 challenges up to the full activity. Discussion determines the duration: you set the pace.
Teacher Pro access includes all 30 challenges, interactive materials, hints and explanations for this activity.
