How to make your worksheet

  1. Pick the month and the weekday that day 1 falls on.

  3. Print and hang it where your child can reach.
  4. Do the job of the day together, then color the box.

The reading skill

Small jobs every day build the habit of reading. Most of the jobs are plain reading in a new place or to a new listener; a few are sound games.

A grown-up reads the jobs

The small print in each box is for the grown-up to read aloud. The reading itself is the child’s.

Any month, any year

The page has no year on it. Choose the weekday the month starts on and it fits.
