Today I want to teach you four words.

The first word is throne.  Can you say it?  Throne.  Throne.  A throne is the special chair on which a king or queen sits. 
 
The next word is robe.  A robe is a piece of clothing worn on top of other clothes.  A robe is long and loose.  Some robes are worn in public to show that a person is important.  For example, judges wear robes when they are in the courtroom.  But other robes are worn by people relaxing in their homes.  We call these bathrobes.  Don’t wear a bathrobe when you go to the store!

Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is “best”. Best means “better than all others in quality or value.”  “Best” rhymes with “rest” and “nest”.  Okay, now you say “best”! That sounded good, but was that your best effort? I think you can do better. Try again. Say “Best”.  Excellent! 

The second word is “accept”. Can you say “accept”?  Accept.  Don't get the word “accept” confused with “except”.  In the story accept is used in two ways.  It means “to receive or take something offered”.  They offered him the job, and he accepted it.  Accept also means, “to allow someone to be part of a group; to look with favor or approval upon someone.”
John accepted Tom as a Facebook friend. The opposite of accept is to reject.

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.
