1st grade, week 19, day 1

New: igh and y

1. This week: igh and y. Igh says long i (light), and so does y at the end of a short word (fly).
2. Read these words together, running a finger under each one as you say it: light, night, high and right.
3. Your child finds a igh and y word in a book or on a box at home.

Adding ones to a two-digit number

Warm and cold water

Needs and wants

1. A need is something we must have to live, like food, water, clothes and a home; a want is nice to have but not needed.
2. Your child makes two lists, needs and wants, with five things in each.

Read-aloud: The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs

1. Read “The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
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.
