Reread: The Little Blue Engine

1. Reread “The Little Blue Engine” from last week. The second time is smoother and quicker: that is fluency growing.
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.

Saving for a goal

1. Pick a goal, find its price, and work out how many weeks of saving it would take.
2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: The Hen Parade

1. Read “The Hen Parade” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. Afterward, ask: has anything like this happened to you? How was it the same, or different?
