Today we're working on words like “share” and “care.” These words might be confusing for kids who are familiar with the word ”are," but today's lesson should help them understand the difference.

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. If your child needs a refresher on the “oa” sound, go back here:
Old Mother Hubbard
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To fetch her dog a bone
But when she went there
The cupboard was bare
She went to the hatter's
To buy him a hat
But when she came back
He was feeding the cat
She went to the tailor's
To buy him a coat
But when she came back
He was petting a goat!

Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
This is a silly story, but what was Old Mother Hubbard trying to do at first?
What happens at the end of the story?
