Sight words are special words that we see and use all the time. They help us read and write faster because we don’t have to sound them out. We just know them by looking!
Today, we are going to learn a very important sight word: “and.” This word helps us connect things together. For example, if you have an apple and a banana, you have two yummy fruits!
Here are some fun sentences using the word “and”:
Let’s practice using “and” together. Can you think of two things you like? Try saying them with “and” in the middle. For example, “I like ice cream and cake.”
Draw a picture of two things you love, like a sun and a moon. Then, write a sentence about them using the word “and.” This will help you remember how to use this special word!
Remember, the more you practice, the better you’ll get at using sight words like “and.” Keep reading and writing, and soon you’ll be a sight word superstar!
Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for the word “and” in books, magazines, or even on signs. Each time you find it, point it out and say the sentence aloud. How many times can you find “and” in one day?
Connect the Dots: Create a simple connect-the-dots drawing. Each dot will have a word next to it. As you connect the dots, say the words out loud, using “and” to join them. For example, “cat and dog,” “sun and moon.” Once completed, color your picture and share it with a friend!
Story Time: With a friend or family member, make up a short story using the word “and” at least five times. For example, “Once upon a time, there was a cat and a dog. They went to the park and played with a ball.” Draw a picture of your story and share it with the class!
