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 work on the words like “gem,” where the “g" makes a “j” sound. Tell your child the “g” often makes this sound when it is followed by the letters “e,” “i," or “y,” or start here for more practice.
You can review all of the prior lessons here.

Gingerbread House
Have you ever made a gingerbread house?
It is a tradition in my house. In my family, we don't make the gingerbread from scratch. We just get the “kit” from the store. The key is that the gingerbread is already made. Then it has frosting and candy to decorate the house.
I suggest you try it. It is simple but fun.
Plus, after you make it, you get to eat it!
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What is today's story about?
Does the author make homemade gingerbread?
