Evie’s Apple Divider: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 2. 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.

lining: A layer covering the inside of something.
divider: A piece that separates a space into smaller parts.
folds: Places where a material is bent over.
zigzag: A line or shape that turns one way and then the other.
separate: Keep apart from one another.

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 a shallow box and large toy fruit with an adult. Compare a lined open box with one containing a broad folded-card divider, using the same gentle tilt.
