Read, Talk, Sing, Write, Play
Help your child be ready to read! Parents and caregivers are a child’s most important teacher. Do these early literacy activities together every day to help your child develop essential language skills.
-
Read
Read together every day, even if only for a few minutes. Many children love to hear the same stories over and over, so find favorites!
-
Talk
Talk throughout the day to your child. Point out what you are seeing and doing together, and ask lots of questions!
-
Sing
Sing songs and nursery rhymes! Rhymes help your child learn new words and develop listening and memory skills.
-
Write
Encourage scribbling! Keep crayons and paper on a table where your child can practice.
-
Play
Have fun together! Playtime helps children learn important language and social skills.
From books and story times to family literacy workshops and more, we're here to support your child's learning.
