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 “ar" sound in words like “car” and “star.”
You can review all of the prior lessons here.

Marching Band Day
It's Marching Band Day, a day for all the band geeks out there.
A marching band is a band that performs at sporting events or games, festivals, or in parades. Drums, trumpets, clarinets, flutes, and trombones can all be in marching bands. But big instruments, like an organ, a harp, or a keyboard, cannot.
Marching Band Day happens to land on March Fourth every year. That's a pun, or a play on words. It's telling the band to go and march… forth? Get it?
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What day is it today?
Can you name two instruments that might be in a marching band? What about two instruments that that might not?
