Daily(ish) Decodable: Combining skills in words like "juice"

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 practice combining different endings on the base word “juice.” As a reminder, we worked on the “ui” vowel team earlier this month. 

 

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?

Read It

Have your child read the passage below out loud:


Lemon Juice Day

 

Today is Lemon Juice Day.

 

A lemon is a yellow fruit that is very tart. You may not want to drink it on its own, but I find that you can do a lot with lemon juice.

 

One thing you can do with lemon juice is make lemonade! I have a very good and fast way to make lemonade:

 

First, get two cups of lemon juice. Dump them into a big pitcher.

 

Then add two cups of sugar.

 

Next, add lots of water—about one gallon.

 

Stir it up, and you will have fresh lemonade. I bet you will love it!  

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

Explain It

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


  1. What day is it today?

  2. The story contains a recipe for how to make lemonade. Do you remember all the steps?
