This activity aids in memory retention and helps students connect the sight word with their everyday experiences.

Sight Word: ‘look’ – ‘look’ means using our eyes – When we see things, we ‘look’ – Example: ‘Look at the flower.’ – ‘Look’ can be used to point out something nice – Everyone say it: ‘look’! – Practice saying the word aloud together | The slide introduces the sight word ‘look’ to Pre-K students.
