Reflecting on Your Language Use means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.

Materials: A short prompt card or picture; Timer or turn tokens (optional). 1. Say the goal of Reflecting on Your Language Use in plain words once. 2. Adult models a clear spoken turn: claim + one reason. 3. Child gives three spoken turns (answer, reason, or reply) and listens once between turns. 4. Fresh check: one fresh spoken turn with a reason. Record and stop. Done: three clear spoken turns with a reason each. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.
