Kindergarten, week 13, day 3

Blend and read words

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

Beavers build dams

1. Beavers cut down trees and build dams across streams, which makes a pond.

Read-aloud: Look at Ants

1. Read “Look at Ants” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
