-er and -or in sentences

1. Read the -er and -or 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: “hurt” and “keep”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Inventions in order

2. Your child explains today to someone at home, then writes the main idea in a sentence.

Read-aloud: The Snail Race

1. Read “The Snail Race” 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.
