whichever is easiest for them to determine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The little playful challenge is that they need to see each sight word 5 times before they are finished. &nbsp;It&#8217;s a great lesson in chance and what they predict will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"900\"
