Eleanor’s Sort Station: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 4. 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.

revision: A change made after looking at something again.
approved: Checked and agreed to by the responsible person.
uncertain: Not sure about an answer or choice.
collection: A group of things gathered for a particular purpose.
system: Parts and rules working together.

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

Use clean mock items to prototype a sorting point with an adult. Check local school arrangements first and record which examples need clearer information.
