๐ผ Explorers: A Day in Space
A fully interactive A2.2 Kids reading lesson that turns obligation language into a reading skill. After four warm-up questions about life in space, students learn a reading toolkit: an Obligation Language Recap (have to / has to = necessary, don't have to = no need, mustn't = forbidden) and a four-step Fact-Hunt Strategy (predict from the title, skim for the big idea, scan for 'have to / has to', mark the duty) with a fact-hunt signals panel. Ten space words (astronaut, gravity, spacesuit, space station, float, rocket, crew, exercise, oxygen, mission) appear in a scrollable table and six get review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style Team File: a 130-word letter from Astronaut Nova that Team Compass reads, packed with have-to duties (wake at six, exercise two hours, wear a spacesuit, fix machines, tie the sleeping bag) plus a mustn't safety rule and a don't-have-to fact, with seven hover-tooltip words. Practice includes eight fill-in-the-blank items (has, have, don't, mustn't and space words) with live validation, a speaking section with five prompts and a five-line Team Compass model dialogue, a guided 30-50 word writing task about an astronaut's day with a four-point checklist and live word counter, and an eight-question quiz mixing obligation grammar with three reading-comprehension questions, a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
