How it works
A voice is like a dial. It turns from tiny, to middle, to big.
A tiny voice is for libraries and for sleeping babies. A big voice is for playing outside.
A good friend picks the best voice for the place.
Worked examples
The library
- Stop at the door and breathe in.
- Whisper hello to a friend.
- Others are reading, so we use a quiet voice.
A sleeping baby
- Dot's baby sister is fast asleep.
- Kit tiptoes in and talks in a tiny whisper.
- Sleeping babies need quiet, because sleep helps them grow.
Outside
- Run and shout, ready, set, go!
- Outside, a loud voice is fine, and it is fun.
- Use your big voice for a race or a garden game.
