Let’s get started
Today we will explore explore community words through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Use neighbor, library, market, and park in conversation.
- Try it as a team: Use the word when talking to someone. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Listen to the word in a sentence. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example
Use neighbor, library, market, and park in conversation.
Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored explore community words. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Use neighbor, library, market, and park in conversation. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about explore community words. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
