How you can help your child at home with

reading and writing.

Talk with your child often to build listening, speaking, and vocabu-

lary skills — as you eat together, shop for groceries, walk to school,

or wait for a bus. Ask questions that will encourage him/her to talk.

Have your child use his/her imagination to make up and tell youstories. Ask questions that will encourage him/her to expand the

stories.

Read a story or poem and ask your child to listen for words that

begin with the same sound (such as /b/in boy). Have him/her say

the words. Then have him/her say another word that begins with

that sound.

Listen to your child read words and books from school. Be patient

and listen as your child practices. Let your child know you are proud of what he/she is learning.

Play word games. On cards, write words that contain the letter-

sound relationships he/she is learning at school. Take turns choos-

ing a card and blending the sounds to make the word. The use the

word in a sentence.

Encourage your child when he/ she is writing to spell words by us-

ing what he/she knows about sounds and letters.

Encourage your child to write notes, e-mails, and letters to familymembers and friends.

Help make connections between a child’s life and what’s happen-

ing in the book. Explain new ideas and words to him/her.

Encourage your child to ask questions about the book. Ask him/

her to tell in his own words what the book was about.
