Five Best Practices to help
your child get ready to
READ:
Talking
Stretch your conversation, tell stories,
use new words, ask questions!
Singing
Sing a song and clap along. Singing slows
down language, which helps break down
syllables.
Reading
Curl up with a book or make it a
bedtime routine. Role model the love of
reading together.
Writing
Draw pictures and have your child
describe what they drew. Write letters
to friends or close relatives. Provide a
variety of writing tools.
Playing
Play various games that stretch the
imagination and develop language skills.
