Ideas for adaptation and extension
❯ Develop classroom games and activities
linked to the picture book, informed by
the learning outcomes of the Language
Specification. These could include
matching activities linking words or
phrases to images from the book,
vocabulary and picture bingo activities,
the creation of comic strips or fact-file
based on the content or themes of the
books.
❯ Create a visual reference, using key words
and phrases from your chosen books,
such as mind maps, vocabulary displays,
word walls, diagrams, picture dictionaries,
labelled illustrations to support revision
and consolidation of learning.

❯ Create prompt cards with simple
questions and answers about the book or
some of its content.
❯ Use digital tools to support pronunciation

input, including audio, visual and
interactive formats. Note: Use digital and
AI-supported tools in informed, purposeful
and ethical ways.
Further, and evolving information on the
