Using it in class

Read each context and every option aloud. Ask children to explain the shared category or contrast. Multiple-meaning words are resolved by the supplied sentence. Follow with sorting spoken words or making new sentences; no images or independent decoding required.

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.
