Kindergarten, week 9, 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 (sat, tag, hem, hog, top and sad); 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.

Counting up to 20 things

1. Count up to 20 beans or pennies, dropping each into a cup as you say its number.
2. Pour them out and count again: is it the same?

A map of my room

1. Draw your child's room from above together: the bed, the door, the window.
2. Put an X where your child sleeps.

Read-aloud: Dex on the Bus

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