Reread: Why Is the Sky Blue?

2. Find this week's sight words, “would” and “write”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

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

Read-aloud: The First Steps

1. Read “The First Steps” 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.
