2. New sight words: “do” and “what”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Read-aloud: The Elephant's Child

1. Read “The Elephant's Child” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
