Daily(ish) Decodable: Words like "work"

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. 


We've already covered simple “or” words like “fork.”

 

Today we're going to work on words with slightly different pronunciations (at least in the U.S.), like “work” and “actor.” 


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?


jerk

twist

work


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


Say It

Have your child point to and say the word "work" three times (it should sound like "werk"):


work

work

work


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


Blend It

Have your child read these words out loud:


worker

working

workout


network

artwork

word

worm


world


actor


effort

Read It


Have your child read the passage below out loud.


Word Nerd Day!

 

I have to admit it: I am a word nerd!

 

I like to read a lot. I like to know a lot of words that mean the same thing—those are called synonyms. So I am a word nerd, but I am also a geek, a bookworm, and a dork.

 

Do you like to spell? Here is a game I like to play. Sometimes I will try to spell a word backwards. Try it! Can you read these words backwards? 

 

god

bird

dine

powwow

 

Or, there are some fancy words that are the same forwards and backwards. Try these:

 

Mom

Dad

pop

level

racecar

 

Those are called “palindromes.” That's a big word! Can you think of any other palindromes? 


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


Explain It

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


  1. Without looking back, can you spell the word "word?"

  2. What is a "palindrome?"
