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 review the “-le” sound at the end of words.
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?

Doctor Doolittle
Doctor Doolittle was not a normal doctor. He did not treat people. Instead, he had a neat skill: He could talk to animals!
The author of the book about Doctor Doolittle was born on this day a long time ago. He was British, and in his free time he made up stories about a doctor who could talk to animals. That doctor could talk and treat lots of different animals: A mouse; cats; dogs; monkeys; and lots of birds like parrots, ducks, and owls.
And so began the story of Doctor Doolittle…
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
Who was Doctor Doolittle?
Was Doctor Doolittle a real person? How do you you know?
