Kindergarten, week 12, day 4

Read: Rat's Hut

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: what was your favorite page, and why?

Count on from any number

1. Spin the number wheel and count on five more from wherever it lands.
2. Do it five times. Was any one tricky to count past?

Leaves make food

1. Plants make their own food in their leaves, using sunlight.
2. Look closely at a leaf: the lines are tubes that carry water.

Read-aloud: Stone Soup

1. Read “Stone Soup” 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.
