At Home Connections: Have your child count groups of things (Pennies, forks, spoons, buttons, etc.)and then compare the groups, which is more which is less. When you are talking about something ask them what letter do you think it starts with? You can sound out words with your child to promote letter/sound recognition. You can go a step farther and have them write out the letters to create words! Read at least ONE book with your child everyday! Remember to check your child’s folder every night and take out papers as they come home!
