The third pack in the Ages 5 to 7 Vocabulary & Speaking collection, teaching children to say what they think and why: giving real reasons, spotting reasons that do not fit, tracing cause and effect, comparing plans, predicting outcomes and disagreeing respectfully.
What's included

- That is not a reason, spotting explanations that do not fit
- Giving two reasons, my first reason and another reason
- What happened because, tracing cause and effect
- Explain how you know, evidence behind an answer
- Convince me, persuading with reasons rather than volume
- Which is the better plan, comparing Plan A and Plan B
- Predictions, what will happen next and why
- Agree, disagree or not sure yet, holding an opinion lightly
- Seeing it from someone else's point of view
- Solving a real dilemma out loud, step by step
- Everyday reasoning prompts, and a completion certificate
