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 words like “find" and “grind.” They look like a simple ”-nd" words, but they don't follow the normal rule.
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?

Kindness Day
Today is World Kindness Day.
I have a question for you: What can you do to be kind?
Could you help your little sister clean up her room? Or help her find something she lost? That would be one option.
Or, could you help your mom or dad make dinner? Would that be possible?
Could you talk to a new kid who sits next to you on the bus?
It's your call. But whatever it is, put your plan in motion! It can be big or small. Today is a day to be kind to other people.
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What day is it today?
Without looking back, can you spell the word "remind?"
