Kindergarten, week 23, 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 (pop, hum, red, let, yam and us); 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.

Keeping warm

Read-aloud: The Little Lantern

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