Phonemic Awareness & Spelling Patterns (1.F.P.3.a, 1.F.P.2.a, 1.F.P.2.b, 1.F.P.3.b) 

• Spelling Games: Turn spelling into a game! Have a “Spelling Bee” where everyone takes turns spelling words with different patterns (like “cat” or “cake”). Or make a “Spelling Obstacle Course” where they jump over hurdles to spell words!
  
  

• Word Family Fun: Create a “Word Family Wall” at home by adding words that rhyme or have the same pattern, like “-at” (cat, hat, bat). Challenge your child to come up with new words to add each week.
  
  

• High-Frequency Word Hunt: Hide flashcards of high-frequency words around the house and have a scavenger hunt. Every time they find one, they say the word out loud and use it in a sentence.

Reading Fluency & Accuracy (1.F.F.1.b) 

• Read Aloud Together: Take turns reading short, fun stories or poems. Start by reading one page, then have your child read the next. You can even read with silly voices to make it more engaging!
  
  

• Echo Reading: Be their reading role model! Read a sentence, and then have your child “echo” it back to you. You can do this with a favorite storybook to help them read fluently.
  
  

• Story Repeats: Let your child choose a favorite story to read over and over. The more they practice, the smoother and more confident they’ll get!

Letter Formation & Handwriting (1.F.H.1.a, 1.F.H.1.b, 1.F.H.1.c) 

• Letter Writing Party: Get out colorful markers and have a “letter writing” party! Practice forming letters with fun materials like sand or shaving cream. The messier, the better!
  
  

• Handwriting Crafts: Let them create “handwriting art” by writing their name in bubble letters, decorating it with stickers or drawings, and hanging it up on the fridge. This gives them pride in their writing.
  
  

• Space Adventure: Use stickers or coins to help them practice leaving the right amount of space between words as they write. You could say something like, "Let’s leave a space ship between each word!”

Grammar & Sentence Structure (L.GC.1.1, L.GC.1.3, L.GC.1.4, L.GC.1.5, L.GC.1.8, L.GC.1.9, L.GC.1.13) 

• Complete Sentence Challenge: Ask your child to tell you what they did that day, but only in full sentences. For example, “I played soccer with my friend.” If they forget, gently remind them to use “I” at the start and add more details.
  
  

• Ask Me Anything: Let your child practice asking questions. You can take turns asking each other fun questions like, “What’s your favorite food?” or “How do you make a snowman?” (Using question words like who, what, where, etc.).
  
  

• Punctuation Party: Turn punctuation practice into a party! Read a sentence and ask your child to decide if it needs a period, exclamation mark, or question mark. For example: “Wow! That’s amazing!” vs. “Do you like ice cream?”.
  
  

• Plurals with Toys: Use their favorite toys or stuffed animals to practice plurals. “One teddy bear, two teddy bears!” You can even mix in some silly nouns like “one dragon, two dragons.”

Sentence Building & Writing Clarity (1.L.GC.2.b, 1.L.GC.2.c, 1.L.GC.2.d) 

• Sentence Builder: Use blocks, legos, or cards with words to create sentences. Put the words in the right order and read them out loud. Add some adjectives for extra fun, like “The big, red ball.”
  
  

• Story Time Together: Write a story together, one sentence at a time. You can alternate who adds the next sentence. Start with simple ideas, then make them more interesting by adding adjectives, adverbs, or fun details. For example, “The dog runs” could become “The big dog runs fast in the park!”
  
  

• Matching Game: Create cards with subjects (like “cat” or “dog”) and verbs (like “runs” or “jumps”). Shuffle them and then play a matching game to make silly sentences like “The cat jumps” or “The dog runs.”
