Kindergarten, week 7, day 3

Blend and read words

1. Blend these words: say each sound, then slide them together. had, got, gap, tag, nag and hop.
2. Mix them up: point to a word at random and see if your child can read it.
3. New sight words: “my” and “me”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

2. Find three of each at home.

The moon

1. Look for the moon tonight; sometimes it is out in the daytime too.
2. Draw its shape. Look again in three days: has it changed?

Read-aloud: The Night Bus

1. Read “The Night Bus” 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.
