Identifying Reasons Behind a Speaker's Points 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 Identifying Reasons Behind a Speaker's Points 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.

Check understanding
- Listen to a speaker's argument or presentation and list the specific reasons and evidence provided to support each main point
- Evaluate whether the reasons a speaker gives are logical and whether the evidence cited is relevant to the claim being made
- Ask follow-up questions that probe the strength of a speaker's reasoning, e.g. 'What evidence supports that claim?' or 'Are there other explanations?'
“When your child listens to someone making an argument or giving reasons for something, can they tell you whether the reasons given actually support what the person is claiming?”
