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 working on the “ou” sound in words like “out” or “ground.” If your child needs more practice with this sound, start here.
You can review all of the prior lessons here.

Read It
Have your child read the passage below out loud.
Groundhog Day
This Sunday is Groundhog Day.
It is sort of a silly holiday, but every year they celebrate it in a city called Punxsutawney. (That's a hard word to read out loud!)
To celebrate Groundhog Day, they pull a groundhog named Phil out of his burrow. If Phil sees his shadow, he will retreat to his den and winter will go on for six more weeks.
If it is too cloudy, and Phil does not see his shadow, that means spring will arrive soon. Last year, the groundhog predicted an early spring.
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What happens on Groundhog Day?
Do you think the groundhog's shadow is a good way to predict the weather? Why or why not?
