Kindergarten, week 5, 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 (an, am, did, sad, at and man); 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.

2. Draw today's weather on the chart.

Read-aloud: Fay and the Kite

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