PK Reading and Writing English Week 2.docxWeek 2 Parent Directions:
Video:
The child will see, say and then use sign language to make the letters A to Z.
Activity:
Click on the link and play I Spy with letters in words displayed in their surroundings. https://cliengagefamily.org/i-spy-letters/
Next practice phonics sounds by going to the following website: https://www.turtlediary.com/video/phonic-sound.html
Practice:While in the house, in the car, out doing errands, or in the community (somewhere with printed material displayed), introduce the activity: “We are going to play I Spy Letters. To spy something means to see something. As we play this game, we will look all around and find letters. I will go first to show you. I spy the letter ‘S.’ Do you see the letter ‘S’ anywhere?” Have your child look around until he locates the letter. If he needs help, you can give clues about where to look for it. Then say to the child, “Now it’s your turn to pick a letter that you see.” If your child is hesitant, give him the words to say to start (“Say, ‘I spy the letter . . .’”)
Online Activity:
Find Your Partner-- Lay the uppercase set of cards out in alphabetical order. Match the lowercase to its partner.

Acting out stories is highly motivating for your children. Everyone wants a turn to pretend to be a character from the story and to hold a prop or wear a costume.
Draw each character, cut them out, and retell story to family or use stuffed animals and dolls to retell story.
