This kit is designed to be versatile, engaging, and effective.
  • Saves You Time: A completely “no-prep” activity. The images, questions, and answers are all done for you.
  • Targets Core Vocabulary Skills: Systematically builds language from the ground up, moving from concrete “Wh-” questions (like “Who is…?” and “What is…?” ) to more complex concepts.
  • Promotes Higher-Level Thinking: The “Why” questions and sensory prompts (noises, smells)  are specifically designed to develop crucial inferencing skills, perspective-taking, and descriptive language.
  • Flexible for Any Setting:
  • Use the PowerPoint for whole-class warm-ups or group discussions.
  • Use the PDF for small group, individual sessions, or as printed, laminated task cards for a learning centre.
This kit provides the high-quality scenes and structured scaffolding you need to create engaging and effective vocabulary-building sessions.
NZ Curriculum Aligned (Years 0-3)
This kit is a powerful tool for implementing the Phase 1 (Years 0-3) NZ English Curriculum and its Structured Literacy Approaches. It directly targets the foundational “lifetime” skills of oral language, vocabulary, and comprehension.
 
Oral Language: Directly teaches the progression of “Wh-” questions.
  • Year 1: “Asking and answering who, what, where questions”.
  • Year 2: “Asking and answering ‘Why’ questions”
  • Year 3: “Asking and answering why and how questions to explain ideas”
 
Reading (Comprehension): Uses rich visual texts to model key strategies.
  • Models “asking and answering questions”
  • Develops inference by prompting students to use “implied information” and connect to their “own knowledge”.
 
Writing (Composition): The perfect “no-prep” stimulus for planning and drafting.
  • Prompts “Planning their writing by saying a sentence”.
  • Ideal for “shared writing” and “orally… scribing”.
