Differentiation strategies: Work with a partner if you find reading hard. Use the teacher's picture cards and text-to-speech. Write bullet points or record audio if easier.

Extension activities: Choose a living thing to research at home. Find one special adaptation and prepare a short poster or 2‑minute talk for the class. You may include Indigenous knowledge if available.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Short handouts with images provided in class. Text-to-speech and coloured overlays are available on request.
