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 words like “wild.” Tell your child that these are special. They look like other words that end in “-ild,” but they are pronounced differently.
You can review all of the prior lessons here.

Parents, read the following words out loud. Then ask your child which one does NOT rhyme with the others?

World Wildlife Day
World Wildlife Day happens on the third day of March every year. That is today!
It is a day to celebrate all forms of life on this planet. From the birds of the air to the majestic whales of the sea, there is wildlife all around us.
How can you celebrate World Wildlife Day? You can take a trip to the local zoo, go visit some gardens, or just relax in a park.
What plants or animals do you see? What sounds can you hear? Take the time to listen and watch.
On this day, enjoy the wonders of the wild world!
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What day is it today?
When have you enjoyed being outdoors and seeing wildlife?
