Lesson One

• Sounds to review: short-a, b, c, d, short-e, f, hard-g, short-i, j, k, l, m, n, short-o, p, r, soft-s, hard-s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z
• Review sight words: O.K., the, The, a, A, to, for, pink, zoo, into
• Introduce new sight word: saw
• Read: Set K, Book 1 (“Mat Hid”) pp. 3-7

I am not using the same order with Daughter Q. that I used with Daughter A. This is basically because with Daughter A., I was using the Kindergarten Sight Words books for the first time. Now that I know them better, I think I like the idea of fitting them in sooner. They are a little shorter than the Set 2 books, which helps with little ones that are only four. We’ll be alternating the two sets as appropriate.

Lesson Two

• Sounds to review: short-a, b, c, d, short-e, f, hard-g, short-i, j, k, l, m, n, short-o, p, r, soft-s, hard-s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z
• Review sight words: O.K., the, The, a, A, to, for, pink, zoo, into, saw
• Build new words: bit, hop, fin
• Read: Set K, Book 1 (“Mat Hid”) pp. 8-12

Lesson Three

• Sounds to review: short-a, b, c, d, short-e, f, hard-g, short-i, j, k, l, m, n, short-o, p, r, soft-s, hard-s, t, u, v, w, x, y
• Build new words: pill, men, up
• Review sight words: O.K., the, The, a, A, to, for, pink, zoo, into, saw
• Read: Set K, Book 1 (“Mat Hid”) pp. 3-7

On word building, Daughter Q. and I just spend a little time playing with letters. What I write down is what we came up with during that time. We only spend a couple minutes on this, but it is directed mostly by me, and she has fun with it. You can write out our words, or you can build your own with your child. Remember: the lessons here are only a record of what we have done, and may or may not work perfectly for you and your student.

Lesson Four

• Sounds to review: short-a, b, c, d, short-e, f, hard-g, short-i, j, k, l, m, n, short-o, p, r, soft-s, hard-s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z
• Review sight words: O.K., the, The, a, A, to, for, pink, zoo, into, saw
• Build new words: men, ten, pens
• Read: Set K, Book 1 (“Mat Hid”) pp. 8-12

This time, when we built new words, I wrote “en” three times on the page. Then, I gave Q. a list of letters that would work for that ending (letters that would build real words if she chose them) and she had fun picking the first letter. Lastly, I showed her how we could put an s at the end.
