1st grade, week 36, day 3

Review words in sentences

1. Read these review words, then use each in a sentence out loud: he, slowly, undo, me, quickly and unlock.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “sleep” and “tell”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Read-aloud: Dumpling Takes the Lead

2. Afterward, ask your child to tell the story back to you: first, next, last.
