Daily(ish) Decodable: Magic E words, in the past tense

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 do Magic E words in the past tense. These can be tricky, so remind your child that the Magic E still makes the vowel say its name.

The First Speeding Ticket

 

The first speeding ticket was awarded on this day a long time ago in England. 

 

The driver was a man named Walter Arnold.

 

Cars were brand new back then, and the speed limit at that time was only 2 miles per hour. That's slower than you can walk! Arnold was fined for going just 8 miles per hour!

 

After Arnold got his ticket, the speed limit increased to 14 miles per hour. I bet you could ride that fast on a bike!


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


Explain It

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


  1. What was today's story about?

  2. How fast was Walter Arnold driving when he got the first speeding ticket?
