Pack six in the Ages 9 to 11 Vocabulary & Language collection. Forty activities in confident, natural and considerate dialogue: two-way conversation, open questions, active listening, joining groups, reading the room, disagreeing well and repairing missteps.
What's included
- Conversation as a two-way street, and the Answer + Add + Ask formula
- Turning one-word answers into replies people can respond to
- Open questions that open things up, without interrogating
- Following the thread, showing you listened, remembering details
- Not turning every story into your story, and stopping one-upmanship
- Listening to understand, clarifying before assuming
- Joining a conversation, and a group where you know nobody
- Including quieter people, noticing when you have talked a lot, the 60/40 challenge
- Interrupting politely, recovering, changing the subject smoothly
- Reading the room, formal or casual, speaking to adults and younger children
- Disagreeing politely, cooling a heated conversation, repairing what you said
- Apologising without excuses, feedback both ways, and exiting gracefully
Who it's for
Parents and carers of children aged 9 to 11 who want them to hold real conversations with confidence, warmth and good manners.
