Kindergarten, week 1, day 3

Listen for first sounds

1. Play I spy with first sounds: "I spy something that starts with /m/." Then let your child spy for you.
2. New sight words: “I” and “a”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

• Dolch pre-primer sight words: flash cardsteach.peabody.kids/sight-words/pre-primer

Numbers on fingers

1. Hold up some fingers, up to 5. Your child counts them and says how many.
2. Swap: you say a number and your child shows that many fingers without counting one by one.

My family

1. Your child draws everyone who lives at home, pets too.
2. They tell you each person's name and one thing about them; write it under the picture.

Read-aloud: Not Yet, Ted

1. Read “Not Yet, Ted” 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.
