Three little ideas

Look at a food picture and say its name: roti, rice, banana, milk, apple.
Food words are naming words — they name something we eat or drink.
Try it — name three foods you ate today.

Name it. You see a long, yellow fruit.

It is a banana! Say the word as you point to the picture.

Matching — join the word to the right picture: the word “rice” goes with the picture of rice.
Listen for the first sound — milk starts with “m”, apple starts with “a”.
This is reading! — knowing the word and its picture together is your first reading.

Fruits — apple, mango, banana, orange, grape. They are often sweet.
Vegetables — potato, onion, carrot, tomato, beans. We cook many of them.
Sorting — put all the fruits in one group and all the vegetables in another.

Remember: things that go together make a group. Fruits in one basket, vegetables in another.
