Monday
Study your Wordly Wise Words
Read a book of choice for the remainder of the 20 minutes.
Tuesday
Have your child cut out his/her sort and sort the words into categories like the ones we did in school. Your child should read each word aloud during this activity. Ask your child to explain to you why the words are sorted in a particular way—what does the sort reveal about spelling in general? Ask your child to sort them a second time as fast as possible.
Practice Math Fact Fluency either with flashcards or apps.
Wednesday
Study your Wordly Wise Words. The quiz is on Friday.
Read a book of choice for the remainder of the 20 minutes.
Thursday
Do a “buddy sort” with your child. Lay down a word from each category as a header and then read the rest of the words aloud. Your child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it. Lay it down and let your child move it if he or she is wrong. Repeat if your child makes more than one error.
