Reread: Can I Pet It?

1. Reread “Can I Pet It?” from last week. The second time is smoother and quicker: that is fluency growing.
2. Find this week's sight words, “round” and “some”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

Ice and salt

1. Sprinkle a little salt on one ice cube and leave another plain.
2. Watch them for ten minutes. Which melts faster?

Read-aloud: The Ugly Duckling

1. Read “The Ugly Duckling” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
