What works in this edition
Benny’s questions stay welcome even when speaking feels difficult. The picture schedule and quiet cushion offer concrete choices, while his bridge-building game provides a small, satisfying connection with classmates.

A reading suggestion
Invent three picture cards for a familiar routine: arriving, choosing an activity, and taking a break. A child can point, draw, or say what they want to ask. Practice without turning it into a test.
