Let’s get started
Today we will explore learn helpful 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: Practice borrow, return, share, and cooperate in pretend play.
- Try it as a team: Listen to the word in a sentence. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Act out or point to its meaning. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example
Practice borrow, return, share, and cooperate in pretend play.
Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored learn helpful words. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Practice borrow, return, share, and cooperate in pretend play. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about learn helpful words. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
