A week timeline

2. Afterward, your child draws today's activity and writes one sentence about it.

Read-aloud: The Three Little Pigs

1. Read “The Three Little Pigs” 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.
