1st grade, week 27, day 3

Review words in sentences

1. Read these review words, then use each in a sentence out loud: moon, out, coin, food, cloud and oil.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “don't” and “fast”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.
