2. Sort them by their spelling pattern, then read each group again.
3. Any word that is slow goes on a card to read every day this week.

1. Write a paragraph about a community helper, then check every capital and end mark.

Read-aloud: The Stamp of the North Wind

1. Read “The Stamp of the North Wind” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
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.
