USING THE SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION OF 'BECAUSE' TO JOIN SENTENCES

MAIN ACTIVITY

    2. Have a selection of everyday household items in front of the child. For example: a spoon, pillow, cup, toy cars etc.
    3. The child needs to touch the items one at a time and then explain what they think it is and why. For example, ‘I think it is a pillow because it is soft.’
    4. Repeat the activity with the different items.

HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS ACTIVITY MORE CHALLENGING?
