The capstone pack of the Ages 9 to 11 Vocabulary & Language collection. Forty integrated activities that bring everything together: choosing the right words, understanding what you read, explaining your thinking, speaking clearly, persuading fairly, writing for a purpose and adapting to the situation.
What's included
- Matching the situation to the right communication skill, and calibrating tone
- Saying it precisely, and explaining anything in one clear minute
- Explaining the same idea to a younger child and to an adult
- The 30-second summary, and summarising in twenty words
- Finding the claim, strengthening an argument, arguing the other side
- Reading adverts and headlines, and rewriting them honestly
- Fact, opinion, inference or prediction, and spotting missing information
- Conversation challenges: keeping it going, joining a group, disagreeing well
- Speaking up for yourself, and repairing your words
- Turning notes into a message, writing for purpose, the precise email
- Cutting the waffle, giving and receiving constructive feedback
- Mini interviews, difficult questions, and saying I do not know well
- Researching before you speak, source checks, presenting data without overclaiming
- The two-minute talk, audience questions, group decisions and chairing a discussion
Who it's for
Parents and carers of children aged 9 to 11 who want one final challenge that pulls speaking, writing, reading and thinking together.
