SOME THINGS YOU MIGHT DO TOGETHER
- At the end of the day, create a story about something exciting or different that you did with your child. Write down the story in words or draw pictures that tell what happened.
- Make sure you have scrap paper and crayons or large pencils on hand in case your child would like to "write" their own story.
- Point out letters wherever you see them. Before long, your child will know that "S" is the starting letter of "stop," for example. Find letters that are the same as the first letter in your child's name. Tell them, for example, that the "A" in "Avenue" is just like the "A" in "Andy."
- Make connections between what you read and what you do. For example, as you cook, read the recipe out loud to your child and do what it says together.
- Explore other words that begin with the same sound
or rhyme with others. You might say, for example, that "A" is the first
letter and sound in "Avenue, Andy, "Apple," and "Ankle" — or that
"moon" sounds almost the same as "spoon."
