Today we’re going to work on the “-er” sound in words like “water” or “sister."
{We've done this sound before, but the words and story are different today.}
Rhyme It Parents, read the following words out loud. Then ask your child which one does NOT rhyme with the others? resist sister blister ------------------------------- Say It Have your child point to the sound and say it 3 times: ...er
...er
...er
------------------------------- Blend It Have your child read these words: mixer
drummer
butter
hunger
thunder
matter
manner
smaller
Read It Have your child read the passage below:
Hall-o-ween!
Halloween is on October 31. That’s today!
I am dressing up as a witch with a black hat.
My brother is going as a goblin with a green mask.
My sister will be a crab. Don’t let her pinch you!
We will walk and see pumpkins.
We will bring a bucket as we go looking for candy.
If I grab… Ten Snickers… Plus six bags of M and M’s… Plus three Twizzlers… How much candy did I get? ------------------------------- Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What holiday is the story about?
What are the author's brother and sister dressing up as?
