Read two books to your child every night.

Pick one of the following activities to do each night. There are enough activities to do
Monday through Thursday with a few extras. Take 5-10 minutes for homework.

Our routine will be slightly different this week. If there is time, do the following.

Review the sounds m, b, s make. Look for them in the books you read. Make them with
play dough or glitter or cheerios (example). Look for toys that have b or m in the names.
Write the word using b, m, or s. Let your child write with the letters they hear. If your
child isn’t ready for that, have them use b, s, m, and then other letters they think will

fit. Any letter is acceptable write now. bee

Look for a, the, can, at in stories that you read.

Read the story I Go Up and Down or At School.
