Early Literacy The Gift of a Good Book: *Try to read with your child every day! *Books help children build vocabulary, learn concepts of print, develop listening skills, and enjoy reading! *After you read a book - talk about the characters, their favorite part, new words they learned and words they already know! *Lead by example, let them see you reading.

Home Learning Activities *Fine motor skills: cutting, coloring, lacing, holding a pencil *Counting objects *Sorting, creating and recognizing patterns *Recognizing alphabets and sounds *Writing and knowing their full name, address, phone number, and birthday *Managing bathroom needs *Independently buttoning pants, shirts, coats, tying shoes, and zipping zippers *The school rules, just like there are rules at home *Good listening skills, not interrupting, sharing, and good manners *Reading with your child every night

Ideas for Adjusting to School *Plan a play date - find a new friend of your child’s, get to know the family and plan some playtime. *Play the name game - have your child draw pictures and write the name of the people they know at school. *Make an “All-About-School” Booklet - about their favorite part of each school day. *Draw a Home-to-School Map - create a poster, of how they get to school. This could be a fun family project!
