Hi there! Today, we’re going to learn about a special word called a “sight word.” Sight words are words we see and use all the time. They help us read and write better. Let’s learn a new sight word together!
The word we’re learning today is “other.” Can you say “other”? Great job! “Other” is a word we use when we talk about something different or another choice. For example, if you have two toys, you might say, “I like this toy, but I also like the other toy.”
Let’s practice using “other” in some sentences:
“I have one cookie, and my friend has the other cookie.”
“This shoe is blue, but the other shoe is red.”
Let’s play a game! Look around your room and find two things. Now, point to one and say, “This is my toy, and that is my other toy.” You can do this with books, crayons, or anything you like!
Keep practicing using the word “other” every day. You can ask your family to help you find “other” things around the house. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at using this sight word!
You’re doing an amazing job learning new words. Remember, sight words like “other” help us become super readers. Keep up the great work, and have fun learning!
Other Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Find pairs of items, like socks, shoes, or cups. For each pair, point to one item and say, “This is my sock, and this is my other sock.” Try to find at least five pairs and practice using the word “other” with each pair.
Story Time Switch: Read a short story with a friend or family member. As you read, listen for the word “other.” Every time you hear it, switch roles with the person you’re reading with. This will help you pay attention to how “other” is used in different sentences.
Draw and Tell: Draw a picture of two different things, like a cat and a dog or a sun and a moon. Show your drawing to someone and explain it using the word “other.” For example, “This is a cat, and this is the other animal, a dog.” This will help you practice using “other” to describe differences.
