Units 1 and 2 Wrap Up

A Message from the SUPERKIDS Publishing Company

Your child has just completed Units 1 and 2 of Adventures of the Superkids reading
program. In our first Student Book, we learned the sounds for the letters sh, ch, tch, th, and
wh and practiced reading and spelling words such as shop, chin, catch, think, and whip. Ask
your child how we revealed hidden pictures to go with the words in the Student Book.
We also read stories about the Superkids in our Adventures of the Superkids Reader.
Ask your child about Sal’s embarrassing problem in “A Patch in a Pinch” and Oswald’s
unusual pet in “What a Pet!” Ask how Frits used a nickel to solve his problem.
As you look through the Student Book for Units 1–2, try some of these activities with
your child:
• Have your child read aloud the words on pages 2, 4, 5 and 18. Together, see if you
can think of other words that begin or end with sh, ch, tch, or th.
• Turn to page 13 and ask your child about the different meanings we learned for the
word patch. Have your child tell how patch was used in three of the Reader stories
we read.
• Ask your child to read aloud the jump rope jingle on page 16. If your child stumbles
on a word, pause before you give help so that your child can try to figure out the
word on her own.
• Talk about the sentence your child wrote at the bottom of page 16. Talk about other
wishes you or your child might have and together write a family wish list.
Learning to read is tough, but support and practice at home can make a big difference
in helping your child develop as a reader!
