Daily(ish) Decodable: The "fl- blend"

Flossing Day

 

Today is Flossing Day. (No, not the dance! The thing with the teeth.)

 

I personally do not enjoy flossing. It is not exactly my passion. My doctor says it is good for me, but it's not my favorite thing to do in the world.

 

What about you? Do you mind it?

 

I know, I know. Flossing is good to get flecks of food, corn, or other gunk out of your teeth.

 

But still, I am unable to get in the mood to celebrate Flossing Day at my house. Besides, it's not like my dentist would want me to eat cake or candy anyway… 


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


Explain It

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


  1. What is today's story about?

  2. What is flossing your teeth good for?
