Kindergarten, week 18, day 3

Blend and read words

1. Blend these words: say each sound, then slide them together. yet, bit, mad, ran, hug and yam.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “come” and “find”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Meet a helper

1. On an errand this week, say thank you to a helper and ask one question about their job.
2. Talk about the answer on the way home.

Read-aloud: The Letter for the Moon

1. Read “The Letter for the Moon” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. Afterward, ask your child to tell the story back to you: first, next, last.
