The letters of in

Sight words are the most frequent words in books. Children learn to recognise them at a glance, without sounding out, because some do not follow phonics rules exactly. The word in means "في" and appears in sentences like: The cat is in the box..

3 ways to make it stick

  1. Read and point: show the word on a card and read it together 3 times.
  2. Hunt: look for the word in a storybook and count how often it appears.
  3. Write: the child writes it in the air, then in sand or on paper.
