Kindergarten, week 9, day 1

Review the letter sounds

1. Point to each letter learned so far (m, s, a, t, p, i, n, d, c, o, g, h, e and l); 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.

Count to 20

1. Count to 20 out loud together, then count 20 steps on a walk.
2. Point to each number from 1 to 20 on the hundreds chart as you say it.

What is a map?

1. A map is a picture of a place seen from above. Look down at a toy on the floor the way a bird would.
2. Draw the toy from above: what shape is it?

Read-aloud: Go, Go, Go

1. Read “Go, Go, Go” 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.
