2. Find this week's sight words, “never” and “only”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

A helping plan

2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: Eight Arms

1. Read “Eight Arms” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
