Rather than memorizing a specific list of words, focus on learning the spelling rule so that your child can spell any
Help your child become a problem solver when it comes to spelling by asking questions such as, “If you can spell
hand, how do you spell sand? That’s right, you just change the first letter because they rhyme!”

 Using index cards or paper cut in 2”x3” pieces, have your child write the words in bold
above or use the flashcards on the webpage and read each word. Have your child add
their word cards to their word box.
 Help your child arrange the cards so that the words are in alphabetical order. Then say
the alphabet together, and point to each card in turn as you name its first letter.
 Ask your child to make up sentences using the words on the cards.
Decodable Story
Lesson 19
It Was Snow Much Fun!
by Shira Alami
Snow fell on the grass. Snow fell on oak trees. Snow
fell and fell. Bill was sleeping when it snowed. When he
woke up the snow was there. Bill got up fast. Bill likes
snow. He likes snow a lot. Bill ran and woke up Joan. He
will show Joan the snow. “Get up, Joan. Get up, get up!
It snowed, Joan!” said Bill. Joan got up. “We can get
dressed and put on hats and coats. Then we can go play
in the snow,” said Joan. Bill fell in the snow on his back.
Joan fell in the snow, too. Bill made snow wings. Bill and
Joan had snow all over them. Bill made a little white snow
cat. Joan put a bow on it. It was cute. “Can we make a
snow dog, Joan?” asked Bill when he was done. “Not in
this wind. It is blowing the snow. We must go in. Quick!
Let’s go!” said Joan. “Yes,” said Bill. “Let’s go!” “Did you
have fun?” asked Mom. “It was great when the wind
didn’t blow. Then it was snow fun!” said Bill. Joan just
laughed.
Decodable Story 2
Lesson 19
Boat Rides
by Redmond Turner
Is it time for a ride? A boat ride can be so much fun.
This boat has sails as white as snow. The big white sails make
the boat go. Wind blows and fills the sails. Strong winds make
the boat go fast! It is fun to sail, but you must stay safe. You
need a life vest.
This boat has no sails. It is slow. You use a pole to make it
float. It can carry loads down this stream.
This boat is a raft. It is fun to ride fast on white waves. Hats
and life vests help keep this ride safe.
This boat has no sail. It is not a raft. To make this boat go you
must row. If you stop rowing, the boat will just float and drift
off. This man rows with his left hand. Then he rows with his
right hand. He will just keep rowing. Soon his boat will pick up
speed.
This boat is a huge ship. It can take long trips at sea. If you
were on this boat, you could eat, sleep and play games on it.
Would that be great?
Dictation Sentences for practice
Read sentence aloud to your child. Repeat as many times as needed. Have your child write the sentence. After
writing, guide your child in correcting if needed. Things to look for:
-Uppercase letter at the beginning of sentence
-End mark (period, question mark, exclamation mark) at the end of sentence.
-spaces between words
-Sight words and words with the week’s spelling pattern are spelled correctly.

High-Frequency/ Sight Words
High-frequency words, or sight words, are words that students need to recognize automatically. They are
the most frequently used words in our language and/or do not fit standard spelling rules. Students need to be
able to say each word on this list within 3 seconds, without trying to sound it out. The test is given on the last day
of the week.
Test for “Tomás Rivera”

great
were
paper
soon
done
work

Sight words for next week’s

In addition to playing memorization games, use the suggestions below to study the meaning and
usage of any of the new words your child doesn’t already know:
 Help your child think of a rhyming word for each word. Together, make up rhymes or riddles
using rhyming pairs: door-floor, more-store, mother-brother, old-cold, etc. For example, “It’s on
the floor behind the door.”
 Have your child use the words in sentences.
While you study next week’s new words, please continue to study any words from this week that are
not yet memorized.
