This resource is aimed at pupils in junior classes or pupils with speech and language difficulties. Its aim is to encourage oral language, especially sentence structure. The focus is also on the concept of longest/shortest. The teacher can start with the question at the top of each card: “Which Is The Longest? / Which Is The Shortest?” This could be followed up with questions like “How Do You Know?” Questioning will encourage inference and deduction from the context.
