Kindergarten, week 18, day 2

Write the sounds

1. Say a sound; your child writes the letter for it. Go through the letters learned so far.
2. Then say a short word (gem, bus, ten, sip, log and fog); your child says its sounds and writes it, one sound at a time.
3. Check together. Writing a word by its sounds is real progress, even with a letter off.

Read-aloud: Dex on the Bus

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