Day 1
This week your child compared characters in
a story. Have your child write a play about two
children with very different likes and dislikes
who go on a camping trip together.
Have your child write these spelling words:
ask, brave, breeze, clip, hand, mask, nest, state,
stop, strap, stream, twin. Give clues about
each word for your child to guess and spell.
Write these words: bear, build, couldn’t,
mother, father, love, straight. Take turns
choosing three words and using them in one
sentence.
After reading a story, ask your child to tell
about the characters. Ask about the setting
with questions such as: Where does the story
take place? Does it take place today or long
ago?
Write these words: stop, brave, clip, sled,
drive. Have your child read each word and
name others that begin with the same
consonant blend.
Here are ways to help your child practice
skills while having fun!
