Kindergarten, week 10, day 3

Blend and read words

1. Blend these words: say each sound, then slide them together. rid, rag, rod, hut, cut and gut.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “for” and “here”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Counting 11 to 15 things

2. The cup holds a ten. Count on from it: 11, 12, 13. Try 11, 14 and 15 too.

Once living

1. A fallen leaf, a wooden spoon and an apple were all part of something living.
2. Find three once-living things at home.

Read-aloud: Moss and the Box

1. Read “Moss and the Box” 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.
