Butterflies on flowers, a hat on your head, the light is on. Eight lessons on the little word that tells you exactly where something is.

Butterflies sit on flowers. A hat goes on your head. The light is on. “On” is a word children already use a hundred times a day — this course simply teaches them to see it on the page and read it with confidence.

  • Use “on” to say where something is
  • Read picture sentences: The butterfly is on the flower.
  • Understand the second meaning: the light is on, the music is on
  • Write “on” and use it in two sentences of your own
