Today I want to teach you three words. The first word is while. Can you say “while”? Good! “While” can mean simply an amount of time. “I’m going to sleep for a while.” While can also be used to join two sentences into one. For example, “I’m going to sleep while you make dinner.” Or, “While you make dinner, I’m going to sleep.” When “while” is used to join sentences, it means “during the time that”. “I’m going to sleep during the time that you make dinner.”

The next word is wander. Can you hear the difference between the words “wonder” and “wander”? To “wonder” means to think about something that is difficult to know. “I wonder why many ladies like to shop.” To “wander” means to move around to different places without purpose or direction. “The man wandered around the mall while he waited for his wife to shop.”

Today I want to teach you only two words.  Both words start with “pre”!

The first word is prevent.  Can you say, “prevent”?  Good!  To prevent means to stop something from happening.  It means to stop someone from doing something.  Sarah prevented her son Billy from running into the street.  She did not allow him to run into the street.  The rain prevented the fire from growing.  The rain stopped the fire from growing bigger.

The other word is prefer.  To prefer means to like something better than other things.  I prefer vanilla ice cream.  That means I like vanilla ice cream better than other flavors of ice cream.  He prefers reading to watching TV.  He likes reading more than he likes watching TV.

Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is angel.  Repeat after me: angel.  Angel.  Angels are powerful beings created by God.  They are much stronger than humans.  Usually, humans cannot see angels; they are invisible.  Most angels are good.  They always obey God.  But some angels rebelled against God.  One of these bad angels is named Satan.  The other bad angels now obey Satan. 

The second word is sword.  Sword rhymes with “Lord”.  Can you say sword?  Sword.  A sword is a sharp weapon, usually made of metal.  It is similar to a knife, but longer, and it is shorter than a spear.

Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is weed.  Weed rhymes with “need”.  Repeat the word “weed”.  Weed.  A weed is a plant that we don’t want. Carrots and beans will grow if you plant carrot and bean seeds. You don't have to plant weed seeds! Weeds grow on their own.  If your garden has weeds, you need to pull them out of the ground.  Then the good plants will have room to grow.
