1. Read the re-, pre-, dis- and mis- words from this week again, then read them in sentences: on the decodable page, or in three short sentences you write.
2. New sight words: “far” and “full”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

A hornbook

1. Some children long ago learned their letters from a hornbook: a wooden paddle holding one printed page under a thin, clear layer of horn.
2. Make a paper hornbook with the alphabet and a short rhyme.

Read-aloud: Newt Is Nervous

1. Read “Newt Is Nervous” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. Afterward, ask your child to tell the story back to you: first, next, last.
