Family Learning Fun

Tips for supporting non-fiction reading:

Encourage your child to…

...make connections between the text they are reading and their background knowledge and experiences.

...share additional information they learned from the graphics/pictures?

...share your opinion about the information learned and use evidence from the text to support ideas.

Tips for at-home math practice:

-Use legos (or other blocks) to have your child practice making different groups. For example, "create 5 groups of 10-how many do you have?"

-Give your child a few small objects such as a pen, an eraser, a paper clip, a calculater, etc. For each object, ask your child to guess if its length is more than or less than 5 cm. (from the School-to-Home connection)
