2. Find this week's sight words, “found” and “gave”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

Read-aloud: Who Lives Under the Log?

1. Read “Who Lives Under the Log?” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
