ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 The Word ‘For’ | Sight Words | Learn to Read with Khan Academy Kids
The word “for” is spelled F-O-R. It’s a small word, but it’s very important because it helps us show who or what something is meant for.
We use “for” when we want to say that something is given to someone or something. For example, if Cody made a card, we can say he made it “for” Allo. This means the card is meant to be given to Allo.
So, whenever you want to show that something is intended for a person or a thing, you can use the word “for.” It’s a simple way to make your sentences clear and easy to understand!
Activity 1: Create a Gift
Think of someone special in your life, like a family member or a friend. Make a small gift or draw a picture for them. Once you’re done, write a sentence using the word “for” to describe who the gift is meant for. For example, “This picture is for my mom.” Share your creation and sentence with the class.
Activity 2: “For” Hunt
Go on a “for” hunt around your home or classroom. Look for items that are meant for specific people or purposes. For example, a toothbrush is for brushing teeth, or a book is for reading. Write down or draw at least three things you find and explain who or what each item is for.
Question: Who is it for?
Think about your favorite toy or game. Who is it for? Is it for you, or do you share it with someone else? Write a short sentence using the word “for” to explain who the toy or game is meant for. Discuss with a partner how using the word “for” helps make your sentence clear.
