Alex’s Shared Task: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 9–12. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

measuring: Finding an amount using a suitable tool.
manageable: Possible to do with the available support.
guidance: Help with knowing how to do something.
review: Look again to check what may need to change.
accessible: Arranged so people can take part with the support they need.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Map the real steps in a shared task with an adult. Agree manageable roles, ask before helping and review the arrangement as work changes. Follow usual food-safety and allergy arrangements.
