ON EVERY CARD

• A clear picture that matches the question
• Level color, topic and card number in the header
• A ready answer: yes/no scripts, two picture choices or a sentence starter
THE 4 LEVELS
• Level 1 Yes or No: short, concrete questions with full answer scripts. Students can point to the yes or no circle.
• Level 2 This or That: a middle step between yes/no and WH- questions. Students choose between two pictures.
• Level 3 WH- Questions: each question word has its own picture (and color in the full-color files), plus a sentence starter.
• Level 4 Topic Talks and Teen Talks: pick one of four questions, answer with one more detail and keep it going with comments.
• Levels 1, 2, 3 and the Level 4 Topic Talks use the same 12 topics (Teen Talks cover 10 of them), so a mixed group can talk about the same thing, each student at their own level.
