Kindergarten, week 11, day 4

Read: Can Ted Hop?

1. Your child can sound out every word in it: it uses only letters they know, plus a few sight words. Point under each word as they read.
2. When your child is stuck, say the first sound and let them finish the word, rather than saying the whole word.
3. Afterward, ask your child to tell it back: what happened first, next and last?

A safe place

1. Where does a bird sleep? A dog? A fish? A bee?
2. Your child draws one animal in its safe place.

Read-aloud: The Crow and the Pitcher

1. Read “The Crow and the Pitcher” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
3. On the read-along you can show the pages on a big screen, or let it read the words aloud while each one lights up.
