The fifth pack in the Ages 3 to 5 Vocabulary & Speaking collection, moving a child from "I know" to "I can communicate what I know". Activities build procedural sequencing with first, next, then, finally, causal reasoning with because and so, spotting missing steps, and answering "how do you know?" with evidence, so a child can teach someone else clearly.

What's included

  • Show me how, explaining familiar routines step by step
  • First, next, then, finally, the four anchor words
  • Teach Teddy, precision practice when instructions are vague
  • Because and so, connecting actions and consequences
  • Spotting the missing step in a recipe or routine
  • How do you know? reasoning from clues and evidence
  • Explaining games, rules and how things work
  • Taking it into real life, everyday explaining moments

Who it's for

Parents and carers of children aged 3 to 5 who want them to give clear instructions and explain their thinking.
