Kindergarten, week 13, day 4

Read: Get Up, Gus!

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: who was in the story, and what happened?

2. Which is greater? Which is less? Play eight rounds.

Build a nest

1. Collect twigs, grass and string outside.
2. Try to build a nest that holds an egg-sized ball. Is it harder than it looks?

Read-aloud: The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats

1. Read “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats” 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.
