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 reviewing the “fl-” blend in words like “flag.”

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:
What is today's story about?
What is flossing your teeth good for?
