For curious minds ages 3–12

📌 Articles: a, an, the

"A" and "an" point at any one thing. "The" points at one special thing everyone knows.

📖 Teacher explanation: Use "a" before consonant sounds (a cat), "an" before vowel sounds (an apple), and "the" when we all know which one (the sun).

✨ Example

I saw a dog. I ate an orange. The moon is bright.
