SUBJECT ACTIVITIES
LITERACY/ SPEECH

· Read - at least one book to your child each day. TAKE YOUR TIME reading and looking at the pictures on each page. Remember that your child needs more time to process what is going on and needs more explicit teaching. Post or send me a picture of your child looking at or reading books!
· Syllable Clap – Clap the syllables in your name. (e.g. “Happy” has two syllables HA-PPY – clap twice). Can you find out how many syllables are in each of your friends’ names? How about your family members? Pets? Favorite foods?
