Read and spell words · Lesson 23 of 77

Write the days

Read with an adult. Take your time. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.

Let's look together

The days have names. Each day name begins with a capital letter.

Read today's name with an adult. Say it, look at the letters, cover it and try writing it. Uncover it to check.

MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday
Look, point and talk with your adult.

Watch how I do it

I write Monday with capital M. I check all the letters against the model. My adult helps with the tricky part.

Your turn

Does friday need a capital at the start? Write it correctly.

Have a go before opening the answer.

Let's check together

Yes: Friday.

Try it away from the page

Practise one or two day names each session. Put the day on a short diary sentence.

Open your writing and drawing pad

Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.

Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.

Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.

Drawing is unavailable. Use the typed working area below.

Your pad is empty.

Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.

Typed notes are not submitted answers.

Explore and practise freely. Opening this lesson or using the writing pad does not save completion or a score.

Adult notes · prerequisites, safety and coverage

Year 1 spelling requirement. Wednesday and other names need explicit adult modelling; do not assume every name is independently decodable yet.

Read instructions aloud. Word-reading practice must match the child's taught sounds. The phonics pages support, but do not replace, the school's systematic synthetic phonics programme. Shared stories are adult-read unless the child can decode them. Re-read and practise daily.

These are teaching introductions, not a claim of mastery. Open the subject's coverage map and limits.
