All — a step-by-step lesson for grown-up and child
Five minutes, one card: say “all” clearly, use it in a real sentence (“We all play.”) and finish with one small game.
What it means
It means every one of a group.
How to teach it
- Hold up the card and read “all” slowly, sliding a finger under it. Point out its shape: an a and two l's.
- Cover the word with a hand and ask your child to say it from memory. Draw a big tick on the canvas when they get it.
- Play the game below, say “all” one last time and stop while it is still fun.
How to say it
Say awl: all, like ball and tall.
Where to use it
Say it in a real sentence: “We all play.” Then try “I see all of them.” Where to spot it: groups and sets, such as all done and all gone.
Try this game
Gather all the toys in a pile and say all the toys. Then put them all away.
Understanding check
Tomorrow, show the card and say nothing. If your child reads “all” at once, it has arrived; if not, play the game again the day after.
Parent tips
If “all” slips away overnight, that is normal. Bring it back the next day with the same game and a smile.
This lesson pairs with the All flashcard in the library — print it, show it, keep it on the fridge. Back to Sight Words (Class 29).
