In One or More?, children circle the matching pronoun for each of four labeled pictures. The pictures support the sentence or noun phrase; the written choices show which language decision to make. Read the direction aloud and work through one example together. Adult support can keep an unfamiliar word from getting in the way of the skill being practiced.
the book: it the balls: they the cup: it the cats: they Say a complete phrase or sentence before marking the response. Check that the choice fits the whole statement, then let the child try the next example with less prompting. Pause when needed and keep the printed text available as a reference.
Use the named character’s stated pronoun and the number of things in the picture. The page introduces its own characters and labels, so read that information together before choosing. In the object examples, it refers to one thing and they to more than one. The follow-up asks: “Say a sentence about each picture with its pronoun.” Read the completed responses back together. If an answer sounds uncertain, point to the relevant subject, noun, or sentence type and try it again.
Find related activities in the grammar and sentences collection. The Spelling and Word Building set offers more supported written-language practice. Use a short part of the page when reading or writing takes effort, then return to the remaining examples later. A brief spoken follow-up using familiar words can help the child explain the same idea in a new sentence.
