Robert’s Work Break: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 19+. Read the questions and clues together, with support if wanted. 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.

volunteers: Chooses to help with work without being paid for that work.
seedlings: Young plants grown from seeds.
scoop: A tool for lifting a small amount of material.
materials: Things used for a task.
review: Look at a plan again and decide whether it needs changing.

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

Discuss a familiar task and identify a safe way to pause, a check-in choice and a lighter option. Rest should be available when needed, rather than earned by keeping up with someone else.
