During group work or ‘write up’ time, select and give each group a selection of words that they need to include.
Cover part of the Sign Picture Card and ask the children to guess what the English word or Sign could be.
Quiz the whole class on the Sign, spelling and meaning of the cards.
Give the selected cards to the support teacher and child before the lesson so that they can prepare.
