Reading and Writing
Parent Tips for the Beginning of the School Year!
- Read to your child every day.
- In the car, read signs and clap the syllables in those words. Practice coming up with rhyming words.
- Practice alliteration: "Can you think of another word that starts like "sun"? Go through the alphabet practicing this. (words that start the same)
- Practice writing sight words with shaving cream in the tub or on the kitchen counter, or with sidewalk chalk on the driveway. (words that we see in every day reading such as: and, the, come, look, like, etc.)
- Practice writing first name, last name, home address and phone number.
