Review words in sentences

1. Read these review words, then use each in a sentence out loud: phone, happier, near, photo, happiest and clear.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “warm” and “cut”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.
