Poppy’s Reading Screen: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 3. 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.

screen: A barrier that hides part of a view.
support: Hold something in position.
positioned: Placed in a particular spot.
distracts: Draws attention away from something.
arrangement: The way things are placed.

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

Try a low folded-card screen around a book with an adult. Check stability, light, arm room and the reader’s choice before using it.
