Look — a step-by-step lesson for grown-up and child
Five minutes, one card: say “look” clearly, use it in a real sentence (“Look at me.”) and finish with one small game.
What it means
It means to turn your eyes toward something.
How to teach it
- Hold up the card and read “look” slowly, sliding a finger under it. Point out its shape: two o's in the middle that look like a pair of eyes.
- Ask your child to find the first letter on the canvas and draw a ring around it, then say the whole word.
- Play the game below, say “look” one last time and stop while it is still fun.
How to say it
Say luk, with the short oo of book and cook.
Where to use it
Say it in a real sentence: “Look at me.” Then try “Look at the moon.” Where to spot it: read-aloud books, where a character says look.
Try this game
Say Look! and point to something. Your child follows your point and says what they found.
Understanding check
Say “look” and ask your child to show you with their body, then to read the card back to you without help.
Parent tips
Do not drill “look” on its own for long. Slip it into the books you read today and let the story do the practicing.
This lesson pairs with the Look flashcard in the library — print it, show it, keep it on the fridge. Back to Sight Words (Class 29).
