Problem Explanation:
This is a sight word activity designed for young learners. The goal is to
identify and connect all the words that say "
like" (both in spelling and pronunciation) to the central apple that has the word "like" written on it.
The instructions say:
> "Look at the sight word *like* that is written on the apple. Then draw a line to all the words that say *like*."
---
Step-by-Step Solution:
1.
Identify the target word:
The word we're looking for is
"like" — both in spelling and sound.
2.
Look at all the surrounding words:
- do
- from
- the
- is
- can
- like (bottom left)
- like (bottom right)
3.
Determine which words are the same as "like":
- Only the two instances of the word
"like" match the target word.
- One is at the
top center (already written).
- One is at the
bottom left.
- One is at the
bottom right.
4.
Ignore other words, even if they look similar, because:
- "do", "from", "the", "is", "can" are different words and do not say "like".
5.
Draw lines from the central apple to:
- The word
"like" at the bottom left.
- The word
"like" at the bottom right.
>
✔ Note: The word
"like" at the top center is already connected to the apple — it's part of the central image.

Final Answer:
✔ Draw lines from the apple to:
-
like (bottom left)
-
like (bottom right)
✘ Do
not draw lines to:
- do, from, the, is, can

Why?
This activity teaches
sight word recognition — children learn to recognize common words quickly by sight. In this case, they must identify only the exact word "like" among similar-looking or common words.
