Day 1
This week your child is learning about the
characters and setting in a story. Read a story
to your child. Have your child tell you who the
story is about and name any other people or
animals in the story. Ask your child to tell you
where the story takes place.
Read each spelling word aloud: mom, hot, hop,
pot, pop, ox, lock, mop, got, rock. Have your child
write the words as you read them and then
write the plural forms of pot, lock, and rock.
Write each of these words on two index cards:
blue, from, help, little, use, get. Read the words
with your child. Mix up the cards and place
them faceup on a table. Choose one card and
have your child find the matching card.
Together, write silly rhymes using the plural
forms of the words in this list: cat, rat, pig, wig,
sack, tack, mop, top, rock, sock.
Write these words on paper: rock, lock, hop,
mop, top, got, hot, pot. Then using crayons,
write the first letter of each word in one color
and have your child finish writing the word in
another color and read the words.
Here are ways to help your child practice
skills while having fun!
