Long summer days

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

Read-aloud: The Sun Is a Star

1. Read “The Sun Is a Star” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
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.
