According to the Bellingham Public Library, reading and writing go hand in hand. When children scribble, they learn that the written word stands for spoken language. Writing not only helps children develop hand-eye coordination, but it also helps them build awareness that print has meaning. Some activities you can do with children to enhance their reading include: - Encourage scribbling! This is the way children learn to write.
- Draw shapes and pictures together.
- Encourage your child to sign his/her name on drawings or label the different parts.

Do you need a rhyme? Action Song: One Little Ghost One little ghost flew down the street.
(wave hand through the air)
“I wonder,” he said, “what I will meet.” (place finger to temple, thinking)
One hairy spider (move hand like a spider)
Two black cats, (Put two fingers from each hand on the head for cat ears)
Three wild witches with pointy hats (place hands together to form a hat)
Four old owls in a hollow tree, (put hands up to eyes to look through)
And five brother bats to fly with me! (hook thumbs of both hands together
and flap for bat wings) |
