This week your child is learning to think about why an author might have written a story. As you read together, stop and discuss the author’s purpose.
Write each spelling word on a card: huge, June, rule, tube, use, cube, cute, flute, rude, mule. Talk about ways you can sort the words into groups that make sense.
Write the following words in a list: around, find, food, grow, under, water. Together, write a story about life under water using the words.
Write each word on a card: mix, mixed, pack, packed, end, ended, hand, handed, play, played, ask, asked. Place the cards face down. Take turns flipping over two cards, trying to make a match.
Play a rhyming game. Write these words: cute, mule, tune, tube, rule, cube, flute. Ask your child to use the rhyming words to tell a story about two friends named Pete and Gene.
Here are ways to help your child practice skills while having fun!
