Reread: The Stuck Kite

2. Find this week's sight words, “don't” and “fast”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

A community map

2. Afterward, your child draws a picture and writes a caption under it.

Read-aloud: Winnie-the-Pooh and the Bees

1. Read “Winnie-the-Pooh and the Bees” 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?
