LESSON 1
Choose a greeting for the situation
Use morning, afternoon and evening greetings and a bedtime farewell.
Adult-supported lesson: read the linked source selection together when available. Greetings can show that we notice another person kindly.
Greet in the morning
When meeting someone in the morning, a suitable greeting is “Good morning”.
Greet later in the day
“Good afternoon” fits an afternoon meeting. Ask an adult to explain your local day routine.
Notice evening
“Good evening” can greet someone during the evening. The situation matters, not just a dark picture.
Say a bedtime farewell
“Good night” is commonly used when leaving for sleep or ending the night. It is not the usual greeting when first meeting someone in the evening.
Worked example: Original example: Amu meets a neighbour during the afternoon and says “Good afternoon”. At bedtime, she says “Good night” to her carer.
Watch for this: Good evening and good night do different jobs in this lesson: an evening greeting and a farewell or bedtime wish.
Discuss: Role-play meeting a friend at three different parts of the day. Then role-play saying goodbye at bedtime.
LESSON 2
Make room for both voices
Introduce yourself, listen and respond politely.
Adult-supported lesson: read the linked source selection together when available. Conversation includes speaking and listening. Use fictional names in practice.
Begin kindly
A puppet says “Hello, I am Dev.” Use a fictional name if you prefer.
Listen for the name
The other puppet waits and listens. It can reply “Hello, Dev. I am Ali.”
Ask one relevant question
Try “How are you?” or “Would you like to play?” Keep questions connected with the conversation.
Share the turns
Wait for the reply. Use a clear, comfortable voice, a sign, a communication aid or another way that works.
Worked example: Original exchange: “Hello, I am Dev.” “Hello, Dev. I am Ali.” “Would you like to draw?” “Yes, please.” Both speakers contribute.
Watch for this: A conversation is not only saying your own sentence. Listening gives the other person a turn.
Discuss: Use two paper puppets for a greeting and a reply. An adult records one example of listening and one example of speaking.
LESSON 3
Build a small action sentence
Connect a person with an action using a clear sentence.
Adult-supported lesson: read the linked source selection together when available. An action tells what someone does.
Choose who
Start with a person name, such as “Lina”.
Choose an action
Add what the person does: “Lina reads.”
Add a useful detail
“Lina reads a book” tells us more. Use a capital at the start and a full stop at the end when writing.
Read and check
Read the sentence aloud with an adult. Check that it says who does what, and that the words match the scene.
Worked example: Original example: The drawing shows Tara eating a pear. “Tara eats a pear.” names the person, gives the action, starts with a capital and ends with a full stop.
Watch for this: A row of unrelated words may not make the intended sentence. Keep the person and action connected.
Discuss: Tell an adult one true sentence about a safe activity. Copy the sentence or use letter cards with support.
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.
