Kindergarten, week 6, day 3

Blend and read words

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

Rectangles

1. A rectangle has 4 sides and 4 square corners, often two long sides and two short ones.
2. Find rectangles: a door, a book, a phone. Is a square a kind of rectangle? (Yes: it has 4 square corners.)

Build a shade

1. Build a shade for a toy or a cup of ice with a towel, a box or an umbrella.
2. Is it cooler under the shade? Feel, or watch the ice.

Read-aloud: Dot and the Log

1. Read “Dot and the Log” 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.
