📚 Topic Summary
Following one-step oral directions is a key skill for kindergarteners. It means being able to listen to a single instruction and then do exactly what you're told. This helps with everything from art projects to lining up for recess! It's all about listening carefully and acting quickly.
For example, if your teacher says, "Touch your nose!" you listen to that one step and immediately touch your nose. These simple instructions help build your ability to pay attention and follow instructions, which are super useful for learning and fun activities in the classroom.
