Reading
Pre-Literacy
Ways to build pre-literacy and read skills in your child
Read a book to your child
While reading, be sure to ask your child about the story:
What do you think will happen next?
Who are the characters?
What happened?
Retell the story
Talk about your favorite part of the story. Why was it your favorite?
You Tube has video read alouds if you'd like your child to enjoy some books that you do not have in your home.
Letter names and letter sound practice. Our Distance Curriculum packs have many practice ideas for you.
Writing Practice
Do the Interactive lesson Recipe for Writing with your child. Instead of writing, have your child draw a picture and orally tell you about the story. Be sure to include the Who? Where? What? and Ending.
Use pencils, crayons and pens to practice letter writing.
Use a yellow highlighter to write letters. Have your child trace the letters.
Use sidewalk chalk outside to draw a story or practice writing.
