At around 36-42 months of age, typically developing students start to understand and to use the indefinite articles “a” and “an” appropriately. But some students need a bit of help to acquire them.
In this low-preparation 49-page pack, we provide structured practice with 66-scaffolded examples to help students learn when to use “a” and “an” in sentences.
We finish off with a ‘Go Fish’ sentence practice game to promote learning.

In this reading exercise, students read many words containing <ar> (as in ‘park’) and <a> (as in ‘past’). For efficiency and engagement, we find it best to work on extended code targets like <ar> and <a> while also working on reading fluency (accuracy, speed and expression) with sentences and short passages.

It contains 10 activities designed to teach and consolidate this knowledge. Activities include:
- teaching the definition and etymology of the prefix, “a-”, for comprehension and spelling;
- a procedural word learning writing activity;
- auditory bombardment – listening to “a-” words in sentence context;
- a highlighting activity: spotting the prefix in sentences;
- a sentence rewriting exercise requiring students to replace words with a word using the “a-” prefix;
- a sentence formulation exercise with semantic constraints: making original sentences using words with an “a-” prefix;
- a divergent naming exercise: creative thinking using words with “a-” prefixes;
- a general knowledge investigation;
- a verbal reasoning/persuasive writing exercise: generating pros and cons for arguments including “a-” words; and
- a story-making exercise with “a-” words.
This resource is one of nine modules covering the most frequent prefixes uses in English. Fully scripted, the module is is suitable for one-to-one, small group and whole class instruction; and can be downloaded in PDF and Google Slides format.
