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.
Today we're going to work on the “-tch” sound in words like “match” or “witch." If your child needs a refresher on this sound, start here.
You can review all of the prior lessons 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:
Ketchup, or Catch Up?
Want to hear a joke? It may be bad, but here you go:
A poppa tomato, a momma tomato, and a baby tomato are walking down the street. Baby tomato is walking too slow, and she starts to fall behind. Poppa tomato gets really angry, so he smashes her. Then poppa screams, “Catch up!”
Did you get it… Catch… up? Like ketchup?
Today is the birthday of the man who invented modern ketchup. His name was Henry Heinz (“hi-nz”). He was born in the year 1844. And today we put his ketchup on hot dogs, hamburgers, and lots of other stuff.
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What happened in the joke?
What was the name of the man who invented ketchup?
