Practice a helpful move for asking for help.
Picture cards: Find a helper · Name the hard part · Ask for one thing
Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.
Name what you tried and what you need. Say “I checked the directions. Can you explain step two?” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.
Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
