Daily(ish) Decodable: The word "again"

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 word “again.” It's a very common word, but it doesn't follow the regular rules (for most American accents).  

Rhyme It Parents, read the following words out loud. Then ask your child which one does NOT rhyme with the others?

bird mud hen again ------------------------------- Say It Have your child point to and say the word "again" three times (it should rhyme with "mud hed"): again

again

again

------------------------------- Blend It Have your child read these silly sentences out loud:

Do it again.


Do I have to do it again?


Not again.


Oops, I did it again.


Begin again.

Read It

Have your child read the passage below out loud:


Again and Again

 

I get knocked down, 

but I get up again. 


You are never gonna 

keep me down.

 

In the stormy nights, 

and the sunny days, 

I'll keep going forward, 

in so many ways.

 

With pals by my side, 

and a song in the air, 

I'll jump every hurdle, 

and reach every stair.

 

I get knocked down, 

but I get up again. 


You are never gonna 

keep me down.

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

Explain It

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


  1. What is this poem about?

  2. Without looking back, can you spell the word "again?"
