Match a whole printed word

The idea

Point to each letter from left to right. Matching words have the same letters in the same order.

Step by step
  1. An adult reads the target word aloud while pointing to its letters.
  2. Compare the first letter, then each remaining letter in order.
  3. Check the whole word: sharing one letter does not make two words identical.

Example

Which printed word is exactly the same as sun?

Answer

sun

Both copies of sun contain s, u, n in that order.
