Daily(ish) Decodable: Jelly Bean 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. 


Today we're going to review words like "silly" and "jelly" where the "y" makes an "ee" sound.

Read It


Have your child read the passage below out loud:  


Jelly Bean Day

 

Today's the day for jelly beans,

Sweet and sour, with colorful sheens!


Red and yellow, green and blue,

Pick a bean — or maybe two!

 

They are sweet to eat and fun to share,

You can have just one, or maybe a pair. 


So let's all cheer, "Hooray, hooray!"

It's a silly jelly bean day!

 

We chase them fast and pick them up,

And manage to get them in a cup.

 

Some taste nice, some taste like pie,

One made me blink and say, “Oh my!”

 

So if your beans begin to play…

Just smile and shout, “It's Jelly Bean Day!”


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


Explain It

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


  1. Today's story was a silly poem about jelly beans. How would you add to it or improve it?

  2. Without looking back, can you spell the word "silly?"
