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.
If you want to review any prior lessons, those are all freely available here.
Today we're going to work on the hard "ch" sound in words like "school."

Read It
Have your child read the passage below out loud:
School Is Starting Again
Back to school, back to school,
To show my Dad that I'm no fool.
I've got my lunch made up,
My boots all tight,
I hope I don't get in a fight.
Back to school, back to school,
Where each day is a stepping stool.
We will climb up high,
reach for the stars,
And show the world just who we are.
Back to school, back to school,
In every class, I'll play it cool.
With a smile on my face
and dreams in sight,
I'll take on the world with all my might.
Back to school, back to school,
With each new day, I'll follow the rules.
I'll give it my best,
no matter the test,
And show the world that I can impress.
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What is today's poem about?
Without looking back, can you spell the word "school?"
