Speaking and listening Work in a pair. 1 Retell the story so far. 2 What do you think will happen next?

• Speaking and listening: Discuss the rules for speaking and listening (in tip box) asking pupils why they think each one is important. Can they think of any more rules? • Ask pupils to think about their own speaking and listening. Do they listen attentively and wait their turn to speak? • When reading or looking at pictures find opportunities to encourage pupils to predict what might happen next, based on what they already know. • For more work on predicting, see Workbook 1 pages 111–112.
