Kindergarten, week 13, day 1

Review the letter sounds

1. Point to each letter learned so far (m, s, a, t, p, i, n, d, c, o, g, h, e, l, r, u, f, b, k and j); your child says its sound.
2. Go back over any sound that is slow, with a word that starts with it.
3. Spin the letter wheel for a quick game: say the sound of whatever it lands on.

• Letter wheel A to Zteach.peabody.kids/wheel/letters
• Letter sound cards (printable)teach.peabody.kids/printables/reading/word-wall-sounds

Which is greater?

1. Write two numbers under 10, such as 6 and 9. Which is greater?
2. Show both on ten frames to check. Do three more pairs.

Nests

1. Birds build nests from twigs, grass and mud.
2. Look for a nest in a tree or a bush on a walk, without touching it.

Read-aloud: Who Lives Under the Log?

1. Read “Who Lives Under the Log?” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
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.
