IDEAS FOR DIFFERENTIATION • Start with just WHO and DOING cards for 2-part sentences, then add WHAT and WHERE. • Offer a choice of two cards rather than the full set. • For confident children, ask them to say the sentence without the cards, or to write it. • Use the Level 4 questions for group discussion.
