Ideas for parents to help their child at home with learning:
Read to your child every day. Talk about the words, pictures and ask questions about the story, author and illustrator.
Visit the library often. If they can write their first name, they can get their own library card at the local library.
Provide paper, crayons, pencils, markers, scissors, glue, etc. so your child can draw, color, cut, glue, and most importantly WRITE!
Do puzzles together. This promotes problem solving strategies and critical thinking skills.
Play games. This promotes taking turns, sharing, paying attention and following directions. Find games that have an academic focus (Candyland, Memory, Chutes and Ladders, Hi-Ho Cherry-Oh, Trouble, Uno, Go Fish, etc.)
Sing songs and nursery rhymes together. Find the words that rhyme and come up with more.
Read signs as you drive down the road. Choose a particular color and count only the cars o0f that color.
License plates are a wonderful teaching tool as you are driving down the road. Choose a particular color and count only the cars of that color.
License plates are a wonderful teaching tool as you are driving around. Identify the letters and numbers.
Label items around your home. Teachers reading, letter--sound relationships, letter identification, etc.
Shaving cream--Spread it on a large surface and let them practice writing their letters in it.
