Words and the world
Use familiar objects, local observations and everyday conversations to explore words, weather and time. Look out of the window, compare familiar objects or talk about a date that matters to your family. Distinguish what you can see from what you expect.
Guides to explore
Before you begin
Can I switch between British and American words?
Supported picture resources have a British or American vocabulary setting. Both words can be useful in conversation: for example, torch and flashlight. A different label does not make a child’s home vocabulary wrong.
Do seasons look the same everywhere?
No. Hemisphere, climate and local conditions matter. Record the changes you actually observe. A four-season tree picture is an example to discuss, not a description of every place.
