Synthesising across multiple texts 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 Synthesising across multiple texts 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
- Combine information from three sources into a coherent paragraph using own words
- Create a fact sheet that synthesises key information from multiple texts on one topic
- Present information orally that draws on multiple sources while crediting the sources
“When your child writes a school report using several sources, do they bring together information from all of them into their own words — rather than just quoting or copying from one source at a time?”
