For example, ‘They are on the green mat, please.’ This approach helps students to not only recognize the words but also understand their usage.

It helps to form the present tense of ‘to be’ for plural subjects. Start the lesson by pronouncing the word ‘are’ clearly and ask the students to repeat after you several times. Use the example sentence to show the word in context and encourage the children to come up with their own sentences using ‘are’. Make sure to praise their efforts to build confidence. For homework, they could find and write down two sentences that use the word ‘are’ from books at home or from conversation with their family.

Use the example sentence to help them connect the word to its meaning in context. For the classroom activity, encourage the children to look around the classroom and find items that are green, which will help them remember the word through an interactive and fun exercise. This activity also enhances their observational skills and allows them to apply their understanding of the sight word in a practical setting.

A Place to Be: ‘on’ – ‘On’ shows something is above and touching – Like a hat sitting on your head – Example: ‘The book is on the table.’ – Demonstrates the word ‘on’ in a simple sentence – Activity: Place hands on your head – A fun way to remember how to use ‘on’ | This slide introduces the sight word ‘on’ to Kindergarten students.

Encourage the children to come up with other examples of things that can be ‘on’ something else to further solidify their understanding.

Using the Magic Word: ‘Please’ – ‘Please’ shows good manners – Use ‘please’ when asking for something – Example: Asking for a pencil nicely – ‘May I have a pencil, please?’ shows respect. – Practice saying ‘please’ with a smile – A smile makes ‘please’ even more polite! | This slide introduces the sight word ‘please’ and emphasizes its importance in polite conversation.

Encourage the children to always pair the word ‘please’ with a smile to show friendliness. During the practice, have the children say ‘please’ in various scenarios, reinforcing the word’s pronunciation and use. This activity not only helps with sight word recognition but also instills good manners.

Talking About Others: ‘they’ – ‘They’ refers to a group – When we talk about more than one person, we use ‘they’. – Example: ‘They are playing’ – Like in ‘They are playing tag’, ‘they’ means more than one friend. – Use ‘they’ for many people – In class, when we see two or more friends together, we can say ‘they’. – Who in class can be ‘they’? – Think of a time when you could use ‘they’ to talk about classmates. | The slide introduces the sight word ‘they’ and explains its use in the context of referring to multiple people. Start by explaining that ‘they’ is a word used when talking about more than one person. Use the example provided to illustrate how ‘they’ is used in a sentence. Encourage the children to think of groups in the classroom, such as friends playing together or sitting at the same table, and how they can refer to these groups as ‘they’. This will help them understand the concept of plurality and the appropriate use of the word ‘they’. Have the children come up with their own sentences using ‘they’ to describe various groups in the classroom.
