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 working on the “spr…” blend in words like “spray."
You can review all of the prior lessons here.
Rhyme It
Parents, read the following words out loud. Then ask your child which one does NOT rhyme with the others?

Read It
Have your child read the passage below out loud.
The Shopping Spree
I love playing this new game I made up. I put on a cape and pretend to sprout some wings.
I float over the dog, sail past my sister, and glide around my granddad.
I sprint up the stairs, cross my room, and sprawl onto the bed.
But the mattress makes a bad sound. The spring has broken, and the mattress starts to sag.
Uh oh.
I run into my parents' room. “Mom,” I say, “we need to go on a shopping spree.”
“For what?”
“For a new mattress,” I say.
She does not smile. She shakes her fist at me and says, “No more monkey games on the bed.”
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What happened in today's story?
Do you think the author will play this game again? Why or why not?
