Kindergarten, week 4, day 3

Blend and read words

1. Blend these words: say each sound, then slide them together. nap, ant, pin, in, an and man.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “in” and “and”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Sharing fairly

1. Share a snack between two plates so both have the same.
2. Count to check. What do you do with one left over?

Read-aloud: Heron Feels Left Out

1. Read “Heron Feels Left Out” 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.
