2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “play” and “run”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Read-aloud: The Fox and the Grapes

2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
