Kindergarten, week 15, day 4

Read: Six Cats, Six Hats

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 your child to tell it back: what happened first, next and last?

1. Race a ball, a block and a toy car down the ramp.
2. Which rolls? Which slides? Which wins?

Read-aloud: Look at the Big Pig

1. Read “Look at the Big Pig” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
2. Afterward, ask: who was your favorite in the story, and why?
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.
