Today we're working on Magic E words like "joke" and "broke." If your child needs more practice with this sound, start here.

 

Now on to the lesson…

------------------------------- Blend It Have your child read these words: joke

poke

woke

Coke

smoke

spoke

choke

broke


provoke

slowpoke



Read It

Have your child read the passage below:


I Broke a Spoke

 

It was sunny today, so I trade in my sled for a bike. 

 

First, I ride to the store to buy a Coke.

 

Next, I take on the big hill.

 

My ride is going well, until I'm near the top. I hear a crack. Shoot, I broke a spoke!

 

A spoke is a thin metal bar that keeps the wheel strong. If you break a spoke, it may get stuck in the wheel or make the wheel go sideways.

 

I try not to cry. Luckily, the bike could still work. But now I need to fix that silly spoke. 

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

Explain It

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


  1. Can you explain what is a bike spoke?

  2. What did the author buy at the store?
