Kindergarten, week 8, day 3

Blend and read words

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

In front of and behind

1. Stand in front of a chair, then behind it.

Shorter days

1. Notice when it gets dark this week. Is it earlier than in summer?
2. In fall the days get shorter and the nights longer.

Read-aloud: Henny Penny

1. Read “Henny Penny” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
