Who is it for, and how do we use it?

Designed as a focused Grade 2 homeschool supplement. Learners should understand same/different and be ready to read or listen to short sentences. An adult may read aloud, model the first comparison or record dictated answers. Character reference ages are part of the artwork and do not set the target grade.

Start with the adult field guide and readiness check. Move through one mission across several flexible sittings, using the prompt “Which detail proves that?” Keep the answer guide with the adult. Use the suggested review/project checks to decide what to revisit; no timed practice is required.

Printing and household use

Print US Letter portrait at Actual Size / 100%. Choose color or low-ink; the learning content and order are identical. Print one test page first. Use single-sided printing for the optional cut-apart cards, with an adult handling scissors. Sort game cards on a table and record their IDs on the mat. A pencil and two safe everyday objects are enough for the project. No account, app or subscription is needed for the printed activities.
