Naming and requesting an object

Learn it simply

  • Name the object you need, then make a polite request.
  • Can I have asks to receive something; can I borrow asks to use and return it.
  • Please and thank you make the exchange friendly.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

Can I borrow a pencil, please?

Moderate / Add a little

Here you are. Thank you.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

Name the object you need, then make a polite request. Can I have asks to receive something; can I borrow asks to use and return it. Please and thank you make the exchange friendly. Pointing can support the request while the child learns the word.

Use language to solve ordinary classroom needs: finding an item, checking an instruction and taking a turn. The object or action gives meaning to the words. Model a complete exchange with both speakers, then change one detail. A helper should leave enough thinking time and avoid supplying every response. Short, accurate turns allow a child to listen and react, which matters more than reciting a prepared speech while ignoring the other speaker.

Listening and checking an instruction

Learn it simply

  • Listen to the whole instruction before acting.
  • Notice the action word and the object, then check a number or colour if given.
  • If a detail is unclear, ask about that detail.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

Do we draw two circles?

Moderate / Add a little

Yes, two blue circles.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

Listen to the whole instruction before acting. Notice the action word and the object, then check a number or colour if given. If a detail is unclear, ask about that detail. Repeating the instruction in your own short sentence can confirm understanding.

Taking turns in a game

Learn it simply

  • Useful game language helps players cooperate.
  • Ask whose turn it is, invite the next player and respond calmly to a result.
  • A short fair comment makes the activity enjoyable.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

It is your turn now.

Moderate / Add a little

Well done! Let us play again.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

Useful game language helps players cooperate. Ask whose turn it is, invite the next player and respond calmly to a result. A short fair comment makes the activity enjoyable. Winning does not require boasting, and losing does not prevent a friendly response.
