- Things you can do at home:
- Practice Fine Motor Skills (puzzles, coloring in large pictures with thick borders, snipping straws or paper)
- Cook together! Cooking and following recipes is a great way to learn sequencing, fine motor skills, following directions and the end result tastes good!
- Read to your child and have them point to and label pictures in the book by function or feature or ask simple "Wh" (i.e. point to something that says "Moo", where is something that is round?)
- Play "Eye Spy" with letters and numbers around the home or neighborhoood
- Read books together, it is a great way to work on language and foster the love of reading
If there are any iPad Apps that you use at home, please feel free to share with me-it would be great to tie home and school together help build our classroom community! We will be using ABCmouse.com in the classroom. Asking Social questions is another great acitivty to work on with your child. Please find a list of social questions in the files on this page..

Reading to Your Child
This site has a great tips about reading to your child. It offers questions you can ask during reading. Reading to your child is so important as it is a great way to increase language skills and attention. Try pointing at pictures of the books or asking your child to point to pictures and then ask questions (i.e "What says, Moo" "Where do you sleep" "Who was sad/happy in the story"). For older children ask if they can recall what happened in the story ("Who blew down the 3 Little Pigs houses?")
