2nd grade, week 2, day 5

Reread: The Moon Follows Me

1. Reread “The Moon Follows Me” from last week. The second time is smoother and quicker: that is fluency growing.
2. Find this week's sight words, “those” and “upon”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

Swap a word

1. Reread a paragraph from this week and swap two plain words for exact ones.
2. Details let a reader see, hear and feel. Your child adds at least two sense words or exact words (not 'nice' or 'big') to each paragraph.

Odd and even game

1. Roll two dice and add. Even sum: one player gets a point; odd sum: the other.
2. Play to 10 and talk about which came up more.

2. Draw one and write how the sense helps.

A family interview

1. Interview a family member with three questions you write first, and write their answers.
2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: Stone Soup

1. Read “Stone Soup” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
