Today we're going to keep working on the “-ed” sound at the end of words. This one is slightly trickier, but see here if your child needs a refresher.
Now on to the lesson…
Rhyme It
Parents, read the following words out loud. Then ask your child which one does NOT rhyme with the others?
made played basketball ------------------------------- Say It Have your child point to the word "canned" and say it three times (it should sound like the word "candy" without the "y" at the end): canned
canned
canned
------------------------------- Blend It Explain to your child that in many cases, the “ed” combination at the end of a word just makes a “d” sound. Then have them read these words: planned
manned
stunned
packed
picked
cracked
oiled
boiled
soiled
attached
Read It
Have your child read the passage below.
Yesterday, Part Two
It rained all day yesterday, so I stayed indoors with my brother Joseph. Here is a list of what we did:
We finished the puzzle we had started over the weekend. Then we wrecked it and cleaned up our mess.
We mailed letters to Grandma and Grandpa.
We skinned some yams and then watched Mom boil them.
Despite the rain, we played and made it fun. It worked out okay.

Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
Why did the author stay indoors yesterday?
Who did the author play with?
