Word Lab

Introduce the idea. Luna opens with the picture visual — a picture above its word — the core vocabulary visual (see it, read it), across 1 narrated beat, so the concept is seen before it is ever practised.

What Luna says

• A prefix goes at the front of a word and changes its meaning. un- means not, so unhappy means not happy. re- means again, so redo means do again.

What Luna says

• Sometimes words paint pictures. A simile compares using like or as, like as busy as a bee. A metaphor says one thing is another, like the sky is a blanket.
