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 “...ey” sound in words like “key” and “money." Remind your child that this is just one sound that “-ey” can make.
You can review all of the prior lessons here.

Walt Disney Day
Today is Walt Disney's birthday. He was born on this day in the year 1901.
When he was young, Walt Disney had a passion for drawing. He took art classes and began drawing cartoons. He came up with a pesky little guy that we now know of as Mickey Mouse. Pluto, Goofy, and Donald Duck came soon after.
Next, Walt Disney went on a mission to turn his short cartoon strips into long films. His first one was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It took four years to finish, but it was the first animation with full sound and color. It was a big hit, and it made a lot of money!
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
Who was Walt Disney?
What did the story say about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?
