An audience makes reading aloud more fun Kids enjoy reading to their families, and listening to your child read is a great way to instill a love of reading. When you're not available, give your child the next best thing: a captive audience. Gather a few stuffed animals or action figures around your student. They can listen while your child reads. Later, ask your child about audience reactions. "What was Monkey's favorite part?" "Did Batman understand the main point?" https://tpitip.com/?14bG17376

Please save your can tabs!

Play a guessing game with sound-alike words Homophones are words that sound alike but have different spellings and meanings (heal, heel; bear, bare; weigh, way). To sharpen your child's sense of language, think of a pair of homophones and give clues to guess it. For example, "I'm thinking of a word that is a letter and a drink" (T, tea). Get started with some of these pairs: ant, aunt; board, bored; hole, whole; meet, meat; rows, rose. https://tpitip.com/?14bE17376

Mrs. Brittani's morning crew got to work on other skills this morning as a reward for mastering their Reading skills this week -- uno, puzzles, games & bracelet making! ❤️

Happening this week!
