Kindergarten, week 24, day 1

New: s blends

1. This week: s blends. Two sounds side by side, each still heard: s-t-o-p, s-p-i-n.
2. Read these words together, running a finger under each one as you say it: stop, step, spin and spot.
3. Your child finds a s blends word in a book or on a box at home.

One-room schools

1. Long ago many children of all ages learned together in one room, with one teacher.
2. How is that like learning at home?

Read-aloud: Mop Is Sad

1. Read “Mop Is Sad” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
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.
