Daily(ish) Decodable: Aunt and Uncle Day

The Daily(ish) Decodable program uses a standard format to work through one sound per day. There are simple instructions for you, the parent or caregiver, and any words in big bold letters are meant for your child to read out loud. 

 

If you want to review any prior lessons, those are all freely available here

 

Today we're going to review the “-le” sound at the end of words like “apple." If your child needs more practice with this sound, start here. 

Rhyme It Parents, read the following words out loud. Then ask your child which one does NOT rhyme with the others?

Read It

Have your child read the passage below out loud:


Aunts and Uncles

 

Today is Aunt and Uncle Day. 

 

Both my parents have brothers and sisters, so I have a lot of aunts and uncles. 

 

But I know family can be complicated.

 

I have one brother. To my kids, he is Uncle Matt.

 

My brother Matt has a wife. To my kids, she is Aunt Amy.

 

Plus, some people (“pee-pul”) use the term “aunt” or “uncle” for other adults who are close to the family.

 

Do you have any aunts or uncles? What are their names? How are they related to you?  

-------------------------------

Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:


  1. What day is it today?

  2. Can you explain what is an "aunt" and what is an "uncle?"
