Ideas of Ways to Work at Home

*Play a board game together to practice taking turns.
* Let your child count amounts. Be sure to have them count 1 to 1 correspondence!
*Look for familiar letters in magazines and newsletters
*Have your child retell a favorite story to you!
*Draw pictures together!
*Play with play dough or clay! Let your child really work their fingers, cut the clay with scissors, count pieces, etc.
*Let your child practice pouring…milk, water, etc. This can be either to help with getting meals ready or just for play in the bathtub!
*Take a picture walk of a new book. Look at the pictures together of an unfamiliar book and let your child tell what they think the story will be about
