See It, Say It: I, a, the

I can quickly recognize the words I, a, and the in short phrases.

About 15 minutes · Materials: Three homemade word cards

Let’s get started

Some very common words appear again and again. We can learn to recognize them quickly.

Learn together

  1. Look and say: “I.”
  2. Look and say: “a.”
  3. Look and say: “the.” Now read: “I see a cat.”

Example to explore

I • a • the → I see the sun.

Try it yourself

  1. Find the word “the.”
  2. Finish: “I see ___ sun.”
  3. Write a sentence with “I” or “the.”

Hands-on project

Hide your word cards around your room. Find each one and read it aloud to someone.

Reflect and grow
