Other Activities

 

  • Continue to practice letter names and sounds.  If you have old magazines, have your child cut out pictures and make his/her own alphabet book
  • Please continue to read to your child each day.  Some questions to ask:
    • Who are the characters?
    • What is the setting?
    • What happened in the beginning, middle and end?
    • What is the problem in the story?
    • What is the solution in the story?
    • What does the author do?
    • What does the illustrator do?
    • Is this book fiction or nonfiction?  If this is a nonfiction book, have your child explain the main idea(what the book is mostly about) and some details that help support what the book is mostly about.
  • Have your child keep a little journal.  Your child can draw and write about things that he/she did that day or draw and write about their favorite part of a story you read to him/her.
