Harriet’s Bus Stop Plan: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 13–18. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Learners can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; learners do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

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

temporary: Lasting for a limited time.
replacement: Something used instead of the usual thing.
confirm: Check that information is correct.
route: The way taken to reach a place.
reliable: Able to be trusted for accurate information.

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

With appropriate travel support, identify official sources for a changed journey and a trusted contact. Practise checking a destination without sharing a learner’s private travel details.
