How the fifteen minutes go
The five steps on this sheet, in the order a child meets them. This is what you will actually be doing, not a description of the method.
- 1
Wonder
Who would like to hear you read?
- 2
Listen
Choose them. Ask them. Wait until they are ready.
- 3
Explore
Read the four words on this page to them.
- 4
Try
If you get stuck, do not let them tell you. Ask for the first sound only.
- 5
Share
Draw who you read to, and get them to sign their name in the box.
Three levels in the same pack
Print the one that fits today. Same skill, three depths — and on this sheet they differ like this.
Support
Read two words, and it may be to a toy.
Fewer items, more pictures, hints included, parent reads the instructions.
Core
Four words, to a person.
The standard task, recognition, practice and explanation.
Challenge
Read to two different people on two different days.
Open-ended. Explain why, make your own example, use it somewhere new.
For the grown-up
The same guide that is printed on the back page, so you can read it before you decide to print anything.
The answers
None. The listener's signature is the outcome.
If they get stuck
Let them read to a pet, a doll, or a grandparent on the phone. The audience matters less than the act.
Common mistakes
- The listener correcting mid-word. Brief them first: 'only give the first sound if asked'.
- Making it a test. It is a performance, and applause is the right response.
When they finish early
Do this once a week and keep the signatures. A page of names is a record of a year.
