📘 Phonics: Comparing Adjectives
What Are Comparing Adjectives?
Comparing adjectives help us show how two or more things are different! We use special forms of adjectives to compare. 1. Regular Form (describing one thing)
The cat is big.
The flower is pretty.
2. Comparative Form (comparing two things)
Add -er to compare two things:
The dog is bigger than the cat.
This flower is prettier than that one.

📘 Phonics: comparative adjectives activity
Sometimes we use adjectives to compare two things
Why it’s interesting: TThe -er ending is fun to learn because it helps us compare two things we see every day!
For example: the word TALL becomes TALLER 📏. When we say BIG it becomes BIGGER 🐘. The word FAST becomes FASTER 🏃. When we say SMALL it becomes SMALLER 🐭. The word COLD becomes COLDER ❄️. When we say SMART it becomes SMARTER 🧠.
Fun Fact: The -er ending helps us compare two things! 🎯 When we add -er to the end of a word, we're showing that one thing has more of that quality than another! ✨📚

Reading: Pixie goes to the vet
Vocabulary
What you read You read about Pixie, a dog who developed an ear infection after getting a bath. Her owner Susan noticed Pixie's ear was red, bumpy, and painful, so she took her to the veterinarian, Dr. Kirk. The vet diagnosed an ear infection and gave Susan medicine to clean Pixie's ear twice a day for two weeks. At first, it was difficult for Susan to give Pixie the medicine because Pixie didn't want her ear touched. Susan asked her friend Tara to help, and together they were able to treat Pixie's ear successfully. After two weeks, Pixie's ear was completely healed, and she celebrated by running in circles and chasing her tail. Dr. Kirk also reminded Susan to dry Pixie's ears well after future baths to prevent another infection. What you will do Learn new vocabulary words from the story. Use the new words in your own sentences.
