One little word turns opinions into reasons: BECAUSE. Children learn that talk is thinking out loud — giving reasons, explaining step by step, using simple evidence and changing minds politely — ending in a talk-to-solve challenge on a real classroom problem.

One pack, three ways to teach it: a Launch Assembly (script + deck), six no-prep Quick Talk sessions (10–15 min) and six Full Lessons (40–45 min), all with decks.

The six sessions: 1) The because habit 2) Explain it well 3) Show me the evidence 4) What do YOU think? 5) Changing minds politely 6) The talk-to-solve challenge.

Also included: Teacher Guide, dyslexia-friendly Knowledge Organiser, Pupil Oracy Log and a References & Acknowledgements page. Builds early reasoning and critical thinking alongside talk.
