Learn the idea

A label names what a picture shows. Adding a color or size can make it more specific, but the label must still match the object in the picture.

Listen to the picture description. Dictate its object and its describing word, then check both against the description.

Example to read or listen to: First: The kite is red. Question: Where is it? Name: mia. Picture: a red kite. The answer is red kite. Red kite names exactly the described picture. Do not choose a nice-sounding label for a different object.

  1. Read or listen to the worked example. Say what the reading or writing task asks you to find. An adult can help with unfamiliar words.
  2. Listen to the picture description. Dictate its object and its describing word, then check both against the description.
  3. Check the worked solution: red kite. Red kite names exactly the described picture. Do not choose a nice-sounding label for a different object.
  4. Try the question and the practice questions. Point to the words that helped you choose before checking the feedback.

Take it further

Optional extra practice: Draw a small boat. Dictate the matching label small boat and the name Ana with capital A. Ask an adult Where is the boat? Listen for a place answer, then explain that I like boats is a preference. Practice this lesson’s skill as you complete the task. Use this idea to check your work: A label names what a picture shows. Adding a color or size can make it more specific, but the label must still match the object in the picture.
