Reading Everywhere!
Make text come alive around your home by using a sticky note, index card, or extra piece of paper to label a note.
Hang the label near a note or piece of paper and discuss the letters and their meaning with your child. Labeling helps children learn that letters come together to make words and creates a print rich environment in your home.

Listen to the sound a typewriter might make. Create a rhythm as you tap the table with a spoon or marker. Encourage your child to repeat the rhythm.
Let's Play
In this book, the cows expressed their desires for electric blankets by sending the farmer a note. Ask your child what is something they want. Help your child draw a picture or write a word expressing what they would like.
