What children learn from this set
The worksheets introduce familiar means of communication such as letters, telephones, mobile phones, radio, television, newspapers, computers and email. Younger children can identify pictures, match an object to its use and trace simple words. Older children can sort old and new ways of sharing information, complete labels, answer short questions and draw a way they communicate with family. The activities use everyday examples rather than difficult technical terms, so they suit Nursery, LKG, UKG and early primary learners. You can pair them with Our Neighbourhood Worksheets when discussing the post office and other community places.
Simple ways to use the worksheets
At home, begin with a short talk about how your child speaks to a family member who is nearby and how they might send a message to someone far away. Let your child point to real objects such as a phone, newspaper or letter before starting the sheet. In class, place picture cards around the room and ask children to sort them into speaking, writing, listening or viewing. Children can role-play posting a letter, making a phone call or reading a news report. Finish with a drawing task, such as showing how they would send a birthday message to a relative.
Clear up common mix-ups
Children may confuse a device with the message it carries. For example, a phone is a tool for communication, while speaking is the way a message is shared. They may also call every screen a television or think that a letter and an email are the same. Ask, 'What do we use?' and 'What do we do with it?' before giving the answer. Use familiar examples from your home, and explain that some methods need the internet while others do not. Remind children never to call, message or share personal details online without a trusted adult.
Lumi's tips
- For younger children, cover the word labels and ask them to name each picture before matching it.
- For older children, ask them to compare a letter, a phone call and an email by sorting them by speed, writing and equipment needed.
- Keep the topic connected to real life by inviting your child to notice a postbox, newspaper, phone shop or television during a walk.
