Kindergarten, week 14, day 3

Blend and read words

1. Blend these words: say each sound, then slide them together. vet, wet, will, wag, win and wig.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “not” and “one”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Adding stories

1. Make up three adding stories with things at home, each with a total of 5 or less.
2. Your child acts out each one and says how many in all.

Changing direction

1. Roll a ball toward a wall. What happens when it bumps?
2. Roll it again and give it a push from the side as it goes.

Read-aloud: The Little Blue Engine

1. Read “The Little Blue Engine” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
