Daily(ish) Decodable: The wheels on the bus go "-round"

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

The Wheels on the School Bus 

 

The wheels on the bus roll around,

The wheels on the bus roll around,

As we go to school.

 

The doors on the bus go in and out,

The doors on the bus go in and out,

All the way to school.

 

The horn on the bus beeps real loud,

The horn on the bus beeps real loud,

At the other cars.

 

The turn signals on the school bus go blink, blink, blink,

The signals on the bus go blink, blink, blink,

All the way to school.

 

The wheels on the bus roll away,

The wheels on the bus roll away,

After it drops us off at school.
