Talk Homework

Monday 18th March

This week we will be reading the story Super Dad by Shoo Rayner.

Dad is very busy and doesn't have time to play with his son. Then one day a Super Hero comes to visit and they have the best day ever doing lots of fun things. But Super Hero looks familiar. Perhaps dad knows who he is - after all he is Super Dad!

If you have access to the internet you can watch and listen to Shoo Rayner read the story.

Now imagine that the Super Hero has been, tell an adult all about your day. Think carefully about the words you choose to start your sentences to help order events e.g. Afterwards… Soon… Later that afternoon… After a while… Before long… At last… Eventually…
