## Ready when they can

- Describe a familiar person or place using several details
- Speak clearly and loudly enough for the whole group to hear
- Organise ideas logically when sharing information or telling about an event

## Lesson: Telling About Things Clearly

Good describing uses details. Details help others picture what you mean.

*(drawing: Tell what happened first, then next, then last.)*

**Example.** Mia tells about her dog. She says he is brown. She says he has floppy ears. She says he loves the park. Now everyone can picture him.

**Tip.** Speak loud enough for everyone to hear you. Look up, not down at your feet.

**Recap.** Use details, tell things in order, and speak loud and clear.
