LESSON 1
Name and notice body words
Recognise common body words in a picture and spoken instruction.
Adult-supported lesson: read the linked source selection together when available. A picture can help us connect a spoken word with its meaning.
Look first
Look at the person drawing. Find the head, hand, arm and leg before naming them.
Listen and point
An adult says one word slowly. Point to the matching part on the drawing, or describe its position.
Say a clear label
Say “head”, “hand”, “arm” or “leg”. A label can be a single word.
Try a new picture
Find the same part in a different drawing. The person may look different, but the word still has its meaning.
Worked example: Original example: Tara labels a drawing. She points to the part at the end of the arm and says “hand”. She then points above the neck and says “head”.
Watch for this: An arm is not the same part as a hand. Labels should point to the part being named.
Discuss: Draw or choose a person picture. Add four labels. You may point, speak, sign or ask an adult to write your words.
LESSON 2
Talk about noticing the world
Match everyday sense words to their usual body vocabulary.
Adult-supported lesson: read the linked source selection together when available. We can describe what we notice. People may use different senses or supports.
Notice the word see
In this drawing, point to the eyes. Eyes are associated with seeing colours and shapes.
Notice the word hear
Point to the ears. Ears are associated with hearing sounds.
Notice smell and feel
Point to the nose for smell. Skin can feel things such as a soft cloth.
Describe one experience
Finish a phrase such as “a soft cloth” or “a bell sound”. Nobody needs to touch, taste or smell an unknown object.
Worked example: Original example: Noor hears a bell and notices a soft scarf by touch. “Bell” goes with hearing; “soft” describes how the scarf feels.
Watch for this: Seeing and hearing are different ways of noticing. These vocabulary links do not mean every person senses in the same way.
Discuss: With an adult, describe one familiar sound or texture. Use words, gestures or an accessible alternative.
LESSON 3
Use this, these, one and two
Choose language for one object and more than one.
Adult-supported lesson: read the linked source selection together when available. A word can change when we talk about one thing or several things.
Start with one
Hold up one word card. Say “This is a card.” The word is tells about one card.
Show more than one
Hold up two cards. Say “These are cards.” These and are match the two cards.
Notice a word ending
Hand becomes hands when we mean more than one. Foot becomes feet; not every plural just adds s.
Separate two and to
Two names the number 2. To can connect words, as in “go to school”. They sound alike in many accents but do different jobs.
Worked example: Original example: Ravi has one hat and two socks. He says “This is a hat. These are socks.” For a picture of two feet, he uses feet rather than foots.
Watch for this: Two and to are different words. “These is” does not match the standard sentence pattern being practised.
Discuss: Choose one object and then two objects. Say or write a matching sentence for each.
Each companion covers selected outcomes. Use the chapter scope and adult checks to judge what still needs practice.
Show what you can do
Complete these tasks on paper or through discussion. An adult or teacher checks the evidence. The browser completion badge covers its choice questions and reflection; it does not certify speaking, writing or practical mastery.
