Daily(ish) Decodable: The "-eigh" sound in "eight"

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.

Turning Eight!

 

I'm turning eight today! There are going to be eight pals at my party. So I set the table with:


  • Eight cups,

  • Eight plates,

  • Eight napkins, and 

  • Eight forks.


My mom made a small cake, and she put eight candles on top. I wish for eight presents and then blow out the candles.

 

Then I said, “Mom, would you cut the cake into eight slices?”

 

But wait, that's not right… With eight pals…plus me… we are going to need nine slices of cake!

 

Oh well, math was never my strong suit… 

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

Explain It

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


  1. What's happening in the story?

  2. What did the author need to set the table?
