Everyday Words


c. After looking at a newspaper, tell your teacher your favorite section. What do you think your mother's favorite part would be? Your father's? Look at the index, and try to find the weather report. Show it to your teacher, and tell her what you think the weather will be like tomorrow.

d. Choose two or three pictures you like from the newspaper. With your teacher, read the caption, or words telling about the picture. Try to think of your own description for each picture. Write it yourself, or tell it to your teacher so she can write it down.

e. SEE-SPELL-SAY: Look and see each word from the spelling list. Spell each word aloud. Say the word.

2) Look at that book's cover.

3) I went with my mother to pick out my father's new shirt.
