Kindergarten, week 17, day 3

Blend and read words

1. Blend these words: say each sound, then slide them together. run, hum, if, fog, us and yes.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “three” and “down”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.
