Today's Lesson

Today we will learn how to practice sight words was, were, are, you, they. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.

Sight words are common words that we see all the time when we read. Words like "the," "and," "is," and "to" appear in almost every sentence! Instead of sounding them out each time, we learn to recognize them instantly. This makes reading faster and easier.

Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!

Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
