Preschool Grade Talking Points

• "Puppets are fun to play with and can help us learn new words. Let's use our puppet to learn some new words today!"
• "When we spell a word, we use letters to show how the word is made. Let's spell the word 'puppet' together: P-U-P-P-E-T."
• "Now, let's use our puppet to act out the word 'stage.' Can you help me spell 'stage'?"
• "Puppets can tell stories too! Let's create a story using our puppet and include some new words we've learned today."
