read stories with your child, discuss with him
or her what the story was mainly about.

the spelling word. Have your child identify the
word for the beep space and then spell it.

Write these words and have your child read

them: eat, four, five, her, this, too. Have your
child choose a word, read it aloud, and trace
over each letter.

card: they, I, she, he, we, is, are, the, fox, cat,
play, plays, playing, eat, eats, eating. Take
turns making sentences using as many of the
words as possible.

Write each of the following words on an index

card: nap, sit, win, fit, hit. Write s on another
card. Have your child read a word to you. Place
the s on the end of the word. Have your child
read the new word.
