Same purpose, different audience means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Sentence strips or sticky notes; Pencil. 1. Say the goal of Same purpose, different audience in plain words once. 2. Adult shows one sentence and marks the target grammar feature once. 3. Child finds or fixes the feature in three short sentences and reads each aloud. 4. Fresh check: one fresh sentence mark or fix. Record and stop. Done: three correctly marked or fixed sentences. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.
