Writing: Writers will take their time to work to add comparisons to their writing that help readers picture things. Most kids will continue drafting the book they began in the previous sessions, although they can also revise those books and others to bring out more comparisons and descriptions. Phonics: Readers and writers will study that blends can also come at the ending of words. They will explore how some blends that come at the end of words are different than those that come at the start of words. 

Writing: Check out this book, "Blue Whales: Giant Mammals" Have your child look at the “Table of Contents”, read to find the comparisons the author uses, and ask yourself, "How does this comparison help me understand this part better?". Phonics: Use what we practice about “Some blends that come at the end” to read the book “How do Flamingos stand on one leg?”. Remember to hear, say and identify the blends we studied.
