Ideas:
• Buy a box of Alphabet cereal and learn as you eat!
- Find the letters in the child’s name and put in order
- Play “I Spy” – Lay out several letters from the cereal. Tell your child:
I spy the letter “f”.
I spy a letter that says /t/.
• Do your child’s favorite activities from the previous weeks
• Sort by beginning letter – Write short words starting with 2 or 3 different consonants on pieces of paper. Have your child sort depending on the beginning letter.
• Clean out the toy box – sorting toys into various piles (weight, size, give away/keep/trash). Always ask the child why he or she created the various piles.
• This is the final week assigned for your child to write their name with the green (start) and red (stop) dots in 3" letters. Focus on the letters with which he/she still struggle.
• Print individual numbers 0-12 on clothes pins. Have the child clip the numbers onto a string or cardboard piece in order. (Idea from Wow! I'm Reading!)
• Play Colorama
• Fine Motor Skills:
Draw What I Draw - With sidewalk chalk outside or markers inside, have your child copy what you draw and then reverse. Remember to start with simple lines and then progress to simple shapes. Use colored chalk that corresponds with the colors in this lesson - brown, green, and yellow.
• Gross Motor Skills:
Play catch with a soft ball, pillow, or stuffed animals
