ASK guide · 6 steps
Practise asking, describing and waiting
Rehearse a small teaching move before using it in class.
Before you begin
Use a teacher account with the curriculum and class context available. The practice room uses a fictional child.
Step by step
- Choose Practice room from the sidebar, Practice on a phone, or Rehearse it on This week.
- On your first visit, read the introduction and choose Begin. On later visits, use Start a session; How the room works reopens the explanation.
- Choose an age, then a card or Let the app choose. Selecting the card starts the session. Read the fictional name; use Different name if it matches a real child you know.
- Practise a short conversation. Describe what you notice, ask one question, wait, and offer a word as a question after the child has had a chance.
- Finish the session and read the teaching moves and learning points shown. Use these to reflect on your words, not to assess a real child.
- Use Your past sessions when a completed session is available. Open a record or use its deletion controls if needed.
