Literacy Tip:

Building strong readers doesn’t take hours; just small moments throughout the day.

I encourage you to try these simple tips this week:

1. Car Conversations

Use car rides to build vocabulary.

Ask: “What did you notice today?” or play “I Spy” with letters or colors.

2. Label a Few Items

Place labels on things like door, table, shoes.

Children will start recognizing words in their environment.

3. Family Word Jar

Add new or fun words to a jar.

Pick one each day and try using it in a sentence.

4. Five-Minute Book Break

Read anything: books, signs, menus

• 5 minutes a day

• Small moments add up

• 
  

5. Ask Questions While Reading

Try: “What do you think will happen next?

Makes stories more interactive and boost comprehension.

Parent Tip:

You do NOT need long routines. Remember a few connected moments and every word counts!
