Easy Ways
This Holiday Season to Improve Your Child's Reading
Skills
Activities for holiday travel: Families
traveling over Thanksgiving or December holiday
breaks can transform travel games into learning
opportunities:
- Clap out family names: Practice syllables
by clapping out the names of family, friends, and even
pets.
- I spy the letter: Challenge children to a
letter hunt while on the go at the grocery store, spotting
street signs while riding in the car, or reading the menu at a
restaurant.
- Tell popcorn stories: Share little
stories using whatever pops into the storyteller's head. Start the
story off with, "Once upon a time, there was ..."
and see where it
goes.
Fun reading games during holiday vacation:
Families who are stuck indoors on cold winter days can try fun
reading-ready activities.
- Go on a book walk: Grab a favorite picture
book and have the child retell the story in his or her own words. Use
pictures and words as cues to build reading
skills.
- Rhyming "Go Fish": Play
this picture card game to grow children's vocabulary skills. Parents
can create their own cards or download "Go Fish" cards from
teachmama.com or
notimeforflashcards.com.
- Write on the walls: Tape paper to the
walls, use window markers, or paint the walls with special blackboard
paint to create a space for kids to work on fine motor, letter
formation, and writing skills. Let kids scribble or paint freely, write
giant letters and have
fun.
