Reread: Coo Catches Gumdrop

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

Read-aloud: Mavis and the Greedy Mayor

1. Read “Mavis and the Greedy Mayor” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. Afterward, ask: has anything like this happened to you? How was it the same, or different?
