Literacy Connection
Point out Words! Point out other words, such as signs and labels, when you are with your child. This helps them see the print all around and not just in books.
Answer Their Questions! Respect your child’s curiosity of the world around them by answering their hard and sometimes embarrassing observations. “Let me think about that for a while," or "That is a good question---and I do not know.” are great starting responses.
