With your child, read the short story titled “Bus.”  If your child is able to, assist them with pointing to each word while you read.  If they are not able to point with assistance,  hold the paper so they are able to track the words you are reading and pointing to with their eyes.

After you read the paragraph, point to the picture of the bus to reinforce that the story is about a bus.

Complete the comprehension questions by reading the question out loud, then pointing to all of the pictures and answer choices. Go back to each answer choice individually and use the core vocabulary board for your child to respond with “yes” or “no” by pointing or with eye gaze. If their response is incorrect, model using the correct core vocabulary word for each answer and reference where you found that answer in the paragraph above. Also, continue working on your daily core vocabulary activities for our word of the week “want.” Listen to the story below and each time you heard the word “want” point to your core board!
