Bespoke Practice Scenario

Lena — the library detective

You are a trainee librarian. A 10-year-old boy walks up to your desk looking for a book. He's not sure what he wants — just 'a good book.' Your job is to ask the right questions to discover what kind of story would suit him, then recommend the perfect book. The answer is 'I Am David' by Anne Holm — a novel about a boy who escapes a concentration camp and journeys across Europe alone. But you need to earn that recommendation through good questioning. Your coach will prompt you at each stage.

Ask the right questions

Find out what Sam likes, what he's read, and what kind of story he's in the mood for.

Coach at each stage

Your coach prompts you at every phase with what to focus on and what to try.

Talk naturally

Just talk — it's a real-time voice conversation. Interrupt, pause, ask the coach. Nothing is saved.

The child you'll help

A 10-year-old walks up to your desk looking for a book. Can you find the right one?

You'll need a microphone. Just talk naturally — nothing is recorded or saved.
