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 silent h in words like “ghost." Now on to the lesson…

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:
The Ghost in the Forest
Pete the elephant was swinging his trunk in the dark forest when he suddenly froze and felt numb.
“Hello? Who's there?” Pete said.
“It's me, a ghost,” said a shadow.
Pete gulped. “I am Pete the elephant. I am looking for my pal Knox,” he said.
The shadow came closer…
It was Knox in a white towel! “Pete! It's me!” Knox yelled.
Pete grinned. “You tricked me!”
Knox smiled back. “I was just resting here and decided to have some fun,” he said.
Pete shook his head and said, “Well, no more ghost tricks! Next time, let's meet at my place.”
