Read: The Crow and the Pitcher

1. Your child reads it aloud to you, then reads one page again with expression, the way a character would say it.
2. When your child is stuck, say the first sound and let them finish the word, rather than saying the whole word.
3. Afterward, ask: who was in the story, and what happened?

Where we live

1. Decide whether you live in a city, a town or the country, and give two reasons.
2. Your child tells someone at home about today, then writes one word for it on the family calendar.

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