### Keep the sock hunt playful

You do not need to teach every position word at once. Enjoy the story, move a real sock around, and let the child point, say, act or draw what they understand. 

1 

#### Before the story

Show a real sock. Ask: **“Where could we hide it?”** Accept ideas in English or another familiar language.

2 

#### While reading

Pause for the repeated line and let the child point to the pictures. Model one short phrase at a time: **under, inside, next to, behind, on.**

3 

#### Move & play

Hide a sock under a chair, inside a basket or behind something safe. Let the child find it and tell you where it is.

4 

#### Finish simply

Choose just one activity from the mission. A point, a word, a short sentence or a drawing is enough for today.

💛 Preschoolers learn through repeated action, talk and play — not long explanations. 

Language bridge 

Let the child understand and answer in a familiar language when needed. Repeat the idea in simple English and invite them to try the key word.

What should I notice? 

Look for progress in listening, pointing to familiar objects, following a position-word instruction, explaining where something is, retelling part of the story, and using drawing or early writing with growing confidence.
