Review the letter sounds

  1. Point to each letter learned so far (m, s, a, t, p, i, n and d); your child says its sound.
  2. Go back over any sound that is slow, with a word that starts with it.
  3. Spin the letter wheel for a quick game: say the sound of whatever it lands on.

What is the weather today?

  1. Look out the window: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy or snowy?
  2. Start a weather chart for the week and draw today's weather in the first box.
Read-aloud15 min

Read-aloud: Kate and the Puddle

  1. Read “Kate and the Puddle” 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.
