What is special about academic English? — use the words

Choose it, then defend it.

1. MATCH

Draw a line from each school word to the everyday word that means about the same.
obtain — get
locate — find
construct — build
remove — take away
repeat — do again
MATCH — watch forRecognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet.

2. CHOOSE

Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: complete, construct, continue, locate, observe, obtain, prepare, remove, repeat, select.
Word bank: complete, construct, continue, locate, observe, obtain, prepare, remove, repeat, select.
We obtained water from the tap.
locate the river on the map.
They constructed a small bridge.
remove the dead leaves.
repeat the test three times.
We observed the moth for a week.
select the best example.
complete the chart.
prepare the soil first.
continue until the water boils.
CHOOSE — watch forPRACTICE MODE: interleaved (all). Gaps are drawn from more than one set — the words COMPETE. This is the interleaving, and it is where the skill is built. Expect it to be harder than blocked practice and do not rescue them.

3. FRAME

Finish each sentence.
Expect the FULL sentence on the line, not just the missing word. A one-word answer is incomplete — ask for it again.
The obtain is ___.
The obtain is rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
___ is another way to say get.
rain is another way to say get.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “full frame”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off.

4. PRODUCE

Write your own sentences using the school words. Target: 1 paragraph (5–7 sentences). A + means more than one sentence in that slot. Use the frame as often as you need it today.

PRODUCE — watch forThe printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 3 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.
