Bring literacy and love of learning into everyday family moments.
Activities for Families
Teachers say "read with your child every day" and we all know this is important for language and literacy development. But busy families ask "when!?" And "how!?". These resources (in English and in Spanish) are mostly audio that you and your children can listen to in the car, while cooking dinner, or waiting to pickup siblings.
Looking ahead on the calendar with your child is an easy way to help your child develop their planning skills while also priming your child so they aren’t surprised by all the changes in routine.
Research shows that spending even a few minutes outdoors can reduce stress, improve focus, and boost mood for both kids and their grown-ups.
Introduce morphological word families and word study with a fun game that is easy to differentiate. AKA the “Word Family Game”.
Our “Family Fun Finder" is a fun way to talk about what individual children like to do, and what the whole family enjoys, together. We use this tool to jump start conversations about ‘everyday literacy’.
