(You can find lots of ideas on our website under “Homework.”) First Grade Reading Lesson 20 This week’s practice: Phonics: compound words Phonics: short /e/ spelled ea as in bread High frequency words: door, old, want, more, try, wash, mother, use Grammar: Prepositions and prepositional phrases This week’s spelling Pattern: On the spelling test your child will be asked to write the sound(s) we are studying, plus 2 dictation sentences that contain words spelled this way and sight words we have been studying. 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!” These types of words will be on the test (not necessarily these words): bedtime backpack sunset playpen raincoat sailboat inside flagpole bedside weekday pancake sunrise bathtub himself windmill Challenge Option: Your child will be given the opportunity to write 4 words and 3 more dictation sentences that contain more challenging words that follow the spelling pattern and harder “High-Frequency” words. This is optional for those students who are interested in a challenge. Do not worry about studying these words unless the words above are easy and automatic for your child. Any of the following words may be on the challenge portion of the test: basketball crosswalk headache earthquake drawbridge sweetheart breakfast washtub Ultra Challenge Bonus Words! weatherman breadboard cheeseburger Words, Words, Words 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 20 Bedtime for Ray by Tami Lo Verso It was bedtime. Ray didn’t want to go to bed yet. He wanted to play his game. He wanted to win. Ray is six. He can tell time. Ray’s dad has a rule about bedtime. On a weekday, Ray’s bedtime is at 8:00. It was that time. So Ray went up the steps. Shep went with him. Shep likes to be with Ray, and Ray likes to be with Shep. Shep likes to watch Ray. Shep gets in the bathtub to see Ray brush his teeth. Ray can’t let Shep do that. Shep can’t be in the tub! Ray must try to get Shep out. So Ray gets in the bathtub. Ray can’t lift Shep up, but he gets Shep out. Shep grins as if it is a game. At last, Ray gets in his bed. His mother reads him a nice bedtime tale. Shep is so big that he can’t sleep on Ray’s bed. Shep can’t get on Ray’s bed, but Shep has a rug. Shep sleeps on the rug at Ray’s bedside. Ray’s dream is about his game. In his dream, Ray wins the game. What do you think Shep’s dream is? Decodable Story 2 Lesson 20 Rosebud by Mary Martinez My mother had a big white boat. Mom’s big white boat was an old sailboat. Mom let me name it. I chose “Rosebud.” Mom got red paint and paintbrushes. We painted that name on the boat. I painted a red rosebud. Mom and I went sailing. We sailed in the daytime. On nice days, we set sail at sunrise. Sometimes we sailed all day long. If it rained, we stayed inside the boat. We played games. We read. But sailing was more fun than being inside. When the sun peeked out, we’d go up and sit topside. The sailboat rocked and we sang songs. We sang, “Row, row, row your boat.” One time we went on a long trip. We sailed and sailed. It was sunset, but it was not bedtime yet. The sun’s rays spread. The sea glowed yellow and red. Then no more rays. The sun had set. It was time to head to bed. It was bedtime on Rosebud. 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. -Printing legibly (using the lines, letters formed correctly, limited use of uppercase letters) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I like the sunshine today. Meet mom by the flagpole. Did you take a raincoat? Will you check the mailbox? Baseball is the best sport!

They are the most frequently used words in our language and/or do not fit standard spelling rules.
