“On” tells us where something is: on the table, on my head, on the bus. It is short, common and easy to act out.

How to teach “on”
Blend o-n slowly. Then put a toy on different things around the room and describe each spot: “on the chair”, “on the bed”. Compare it with no, which uses the same letters back to front.

Hide a toy on, under or in front of things around the room. Your child finds it and reads a card that says “It is on the ___” or “It is under the ___”, then fills the gap aloud.
Practise next
Try “under” and “into” next: they are other position words you can act out together.
