Literacy

  • Read books, articles, or poems and talk about them. Ask questions and use clues from the text to make predictions. Or listen along to books online using Vooks, Storylineonline, or TumbleBookLibrary

  • Draw letters all over a beach ball-when your thumb lands on a letter, help your child come up with a word that begins with that letter. For additional practice, think of a word that rhymes with that word.

    • Recommended books: Any Dr. Seuss book is great for practice with rhyming

  • Useful iPad applications:

Partners-in-Rhyme app
