How to Use This Pack

Four pages of the little words that come before a noun. On two pages children write a or an before the name of each picture: a cat, an egg. Half the words start with a vowel sound. On two pages a picture shows one animal or several, and children circle This or These, or That or Those, to start the sentence.

In the Classroom

Say a and an in front of a few words and listen: a ant sounds bumpy, an ant sounds smooth. For this and these, hold up one pencil, then several, and say the words together.

At Home

Name things around you with a or an: a spoon, an apple, a sock, an egg. Let your child tell you which one sounds right.

Tips for Success
