 | Statements and questionsThe flashcards are the starting point for teaching the Action Words high frequency words. A flashcard has a word, image and an explanation of the action. Each explanation is a prompt for using the word in context and developing vocabulary. We want you to have as much fun as possible as you introduce the children to 5 words each week. Talking about the character and thinking about the questions and statements the characters make is another way to bring the words to life and add deeper meaning. |
 | Statements: Dad! Your trousers are falling down! My dad has a spiky chin. My dad dances like Fidgit. Questions: Can Sam have the last biscuit, Dad? Dad, have you washed my P.E. kit? Have you ever seen a fairy, Dad? |
 | Statements: That's my sausage! I love my grandad. My new jumper is too tickly. Questions: Shall I give the dribbly ice-cream to my brother? Why is Bot wearing my sparkly wellies? Has Fidgit eaten all of my sweets? |
 | Statements: Fidgit said, 'I need ten doughnuts!' 'Time for bed,' said Dad. 'My birthday cake is awesome!' said Sam. Questions: Ziggy said, 'What tastes best? Slugs or snails?' 'Who made this mess?' said Bot. 'Do you want to play football, Sam?' said Lilly. |
 | Statements: Mum, Fidgit's put my pants on his head! Ziggy's made a yummy worm sandwich for you, Mum. Mum! Fidgit's raiding the fridge. Questions: Mum, do you like football better than knitting? Is it time to go to school, Mum? Mum, are you more clever than Bot? |
If the children are struggling, give them some starter prompts.
 | Statements: I think you are being sillier than Fidgit. Ziggy is not like you, he's an alien. You are being a bossy Bot. Questions: Sam, will you read this book with me? Where do you come from, Ziggy? How many sweets have you got? |
