🍎 Explorers: Follow the Recipe!
A fully interactive A2.1 Kids reading lesson from the Explorer Club world. Chef explorers read a simple recipe, find the quantities, and put the cooking steps in the right order. Part 2 builds the reading skill in three blocks: Recipe Action Words (imperative verbs like mix, add, cut, cook), Order Words (first, then, after that, finally) for sequencing steps, and Read the Quantities (two eggs, 100 g of cheese, a cup of rice, a little salt). Ten recipe words appear with kid-friendly definitions and examples; six get review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style camp recipe — Zeynep's fruit salad — starring the Team Compass cast, rich in imperatives, sequencers and quantities, with hover-tooltip vocabulary. Practice offers 8 fill-in-the-blank items that check order words, action verbs and quantities, with live validation, hints and a score. Speaking gives five recipe-telling prompts plus a model Team Compass dialogue. The writing task is a 25-45 word simple recipe using order words, action verbs and quantities with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save. A full 8-question quiz is comprehension-rich: four questions test the recipe text and four test action verbs and order words.
