Level 2
“Yesterday I bought something to eat. What could I have bought?”
“My naughty dog chewed my clothes. What clothes did he chew?”
These worksheets are targeted at Level 2 of Marion Blank’s ‘Model of Classroom Language’. The activities will help your child understand the function of objects, what the objects are used for and what we do with them.
Function – describes …
- What we do with something (eat cake).
- What we use it for (cut with scissors).
- What it does or what it can do (a helicopter flies, a bee can sting).
This program ensures that your child will be able to …
- Select objects according to their function.
- Sort objects with similar functions.
- Name the functions of objects.
- Identify the odd one out by recognising the object’s function.
Research indicates that we store and retrieve words more easily if they have been organised into ‘groups’. Classifying is an important skill for a child to learn. Understanding the function of objects is generally the first characteristic that a child attaches to an object. Your child will quickly realise that juice is for drinking and that a bed is for sleeping in.
