Read: Meg and the Seed

1. Your child reads it aloud to you, then reads one page again with expression, the way a character would say it.
2. When your child is stuck, say the first sound and let them finish the word, rather than saying the whole word.
3. Afterward, ask: what was your favorite page, and why?

Comparing by taking away

1. 12 − 7 = 5 means 12 is 5 more than 7.

Stems hold plants up

1. Look at different stems: a tree trunk, a blade of grass, a flower stem.
2. Which is strongest? Why might a tree need a thick stem?

Read-aloud: The Tale of Peter Rabbit

1. Read “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
3. On the read-along you can show the pages on a big screen, or let it read the words aloud while each one lights up.
