Daily(ish) Decodable: The "or" as "er" sound

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. 

 

We've already covered simple “or” words like “fork.”

 

Today we're going to work on words where the "or" makes an "er" sound (at least in the U.S.).

The Work Week

 

How many days a week do you go to school?

 

Today is September twenty-fifth. 

 

On this day in the year 1926, Henry Ford agreed to a workweek that was five days and forty hours long.

 

Before then, workers had to work six days a week. They worked from Monday to Saturday for about 8 hours per day.

 

After Ford, the workers got to take Saturdays off. They spent time with family, took vacations, or just enjoyed more free time.

 

At the time, Henry Ford was the boss of the Ford car company, and others soon followed his lead.

 

Today, the five-day week is standard across the U.S.A.

Explain It

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


  1. What was today's story about?

  2. Who was Henry Ford?
