Reading, Writing and Making Applesauce
It is important to read to your child. You already know that. Why not step it up? When you read a book with your child find an activity to go along with it. This is beneficial in so many ways. It helps increase reading comprehension, it helps build interest in reading and most importantly it is quality time spent with your child. The activity doesn’t have to be big and grand or complicated and expensive. For example, if you and your child are reading Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary, you could have applesauce as a snack that day. If you are feeling motivated you could make applesauce and have your child write down the steps to share with friends and family. If you are feeling very motivated you could throw a “Beezus Birthday” party. You activity doesn’t have to be a big event each time. Your child will be just as excited to share a bowl of applesauce with you one day as they will make cookies another.
I will start adding some suggested activities to some of the posts. If you have ideas please share them with us! If you have a book and you just can’t think of an activity…ask me. I will come up with something!
