New sound: v says /v/

1. Say the sound /v/ together, the sound at the start of van, vet and vest. Keep it short and crisp, without an "uh" after it.
2. Show big V and small v. Trace each with a finger, then write a row of each.
3. Sort toys or pictures into two piles: w words and v words.

• Letter wheel A to Zteach.peabody.kids/wheel/letters
• Copywork maker: print a line to copyteach.peabody.kids/homeschool/aids/copywork

The plus sign

1. Show 2 + 1 = 3 with counters: 2 here, 1 there, then push them together.
2. Read it together: two plus one equals three. Write two more like it.

Harder and softer

1. Roll a ball with a soft push, then a hard push.

Read-aloud: Ben and the Blocks

1. Read “Ben and the Blocks” aloud, with your child beside you where they can see the pictures.
2. Stop halfway and ask: what do you think will happen next?
