Jump and rhymeJump rope chants let your youngster enjoy rhythms and

MateriaLs: jump rope

1. Say a word that yourchild could easily rhyme,such as cat. She shouldjump rope and makeup a chant using thatword and a rhyming one.(“I love my cat. Howabout that?”)2. Then, she passes the

________

rope to you. Repeat herlines, copying her rhythm,

and add another rhyming line. (“He wears a hat.”)3. Go back and forth, repeating the chant and adding to it,until you can’t think of another rhyming word. The last person to go chooses a new word to start the next round.

Roll a read-aloudUse an existing board game to encourage your child to

read aloud.

Materials: several short books, a game board with a path(example: Candy Land), a token for each playei one die1. Ask your youngster to pick a book, and have players placetheir tokens at the beginning of the game path. The youngestperson goes first.

2. On his turn, each player rolls the die and reads that manysentences from the book (roll a 5, read 5 sentences). Then, hemoves his token that number of spaces (5).3. Keep playing until someone gets a token all the way to“finish.” The winner reads the rest of the book aloud to theother players. Note: If you finish the book before someonewins, start a new one.

Materials: coloring book, crayons, stapler

1. Have your child open the coloring book to a random pageand use the picture to start telling a story. (“Once upon a time,a duck found a baseball.”)

2. Ask her to close the book and pass it to the next person.That person opens to a different page and adds to the story.Example: “The duck took the baseball to the amusement parkand hid under the merry-go-round.”

Would you rather?This guessing game mixes silly questions with language

arts practice.

Materials: index cards, pencil, paper

1. Together, think of 15—20 “Would you rather?” questions,and write them on separate index cards. Example: “Would yourather (A) touch a worm or (B) chew a banana peel?” Shufflethe cards and place them facedown in a stack.

2. Give each person two blank index cards to use for voting.They should write A on one card and B on the other.

3. The first player draws a card and reads it aloud. The otherplayers guess which answer that person will pick and thenvote by putting their A or B card facedown.

4. The first player reveals his choice and explains why hepicked it. Each person who guessed correctly scores a point.Then, it’s the next player’s turn. Continue until all of the cardsare used. The person with the most points wins.

READERS AREWRITERS!

NURSERYRHYMESJust as your child

is part of a family,words come infamilies, too.Explain that aword family ismade up of wordsthat end with thesame combinationof letters—sothey’re fun to usein nursery rhymes.

Read nursery rhymes in library books or online, and letyour youngster look for word families. She could pick a verseto write on a piece of paper and then underline or circle wordsthat share an ending. Example: “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall/ Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.” Underneath, have her listother words in the same word family (ball, call, hall).

STORY MOBILE“First this happened, and then that happened!” Give your

child practice with putting story events in order with thisactivity.Read a story and have her decorate an index card for each

event. For The Little Red Hen, she could make cards showingthe hen planting seeds, watering seeds, cutting wheat, grinding wheat into flour, making flour into dough, and bakingbread. Help your youngster write about each event on oneside of a card, and let her illustrate it on the other side.Then, she can hole-punch the top of each card, thread yam

through, and string the cards in order on a coat hanger. Finally,ask her to use her mobile to retell the story

PICTURE POSTCARDLet your child take an imaginary trip to a story setting.

Read a book together, and suggest that he send you a postcardfrom a character in a place that’s mentioned. Imagining himself inside the book can help him relate to the characters andbetter understand the story.For example, he might write a

postcard from the candy house inHansel and Gretel. What doesHansel see, and how does hefeel? Or he could write fromMax’s imaginary forest inWhere the Wild ThingsAre by Maurice Sendak. Your youngsterwill practice readingfor details as hedecides what to write.

eadiiia inr t’’c!11 eqirniiq Edition

In books, your youngster wilifind people and animals,real and i;naginaiy places, fascinatingfacts, and interesting words that can inspire him when he writes. Here areactivities to help him make connections between readingand writing.

FAMILY PICKSThis cute display encourages your child to write opinions

of the books he reads. Once a week, let each family memberchoose a favorite book to display on a bookcase or shelflike “staff picks” in a library or bookstore.When your youngster selects a book to display, help him

write what he liked about it. If he’s not writing yet, he coulddictate his words to you. (Example: “1 was happy that the littleboy learned not to be scared of monsters anymore.”) Put outhis review along with the book. Family members can readeach other’s opinions and discover new books to enjoy

READERS ARE WRITERS! Page 2

Encourage your youngster to cover an empty cereal boxwith construction paper and write and draw on it. She mightmake up a slogan and her own recipe or tips. (“Try this cerealon top of your yogurt or ice cream!”)

PET INSTRUCTIONSIf your child could have any animal on the planet as a pet,

which one would he choose? Read nonfiction books aboutanimals with him. Then, ask him to pick a “pet” and writeinstructions for taking care of it.He can use facts he learned from the books and write direc

tions about how to feed and care for his pet. For a platypus,he might write, “Feed him insects and worms for breakfast.He likes to swim, so let him play in the bathtub.”

CEREAL BOXESPut reading and writing on the breakfast menu with this

idea. Give your child a few cereal boxes to read while she’seating. What kind of information does she notice? She willfind the cereal name and maybe a catchy slogan on the front.The back may have a recipe, tips for healthy eating, or a shortbiography of an athlete.

WHAT AUTHORS DOAuthors can be great “teachers” for young writers. Here

are some things your youngster might listen for when youread to her.• SETUP. What is the plot structure, or setup, of the story? Itmay have a repeating phrase like “Brown bear, brown bear,what do you see?” in Brown Beat; Brown Bear by Bill Martin Jr.Or it might be told in a circularplot—in If You Give a Mouse aCoohie by Laura Numeroff, eachevent leads to the next until thestory comes full circle. Or thestory could simply be told frombeginning to end. Ask your childto identify the plot structure andwrite a story like that.• WORD CHOICE. Wherecould your youngster find interesting words to use in her writing? In books! Suggest that shejot down words she likes onslips of paper and put them in

a zipper bag. In Stellalwma Uanell Cannon), she may pickmango, swooped, and leafy, for example. When she writesstories, she can dump out her bag and look for fun wordsto include.

• POINT OF VIEW. Talk about who is telling the storyThe main character might say “I” —that’s first-person point

of view If the author uses he andshe, the story is told in the thirdperson. Try changing the pointof view. For instance, if it says,“Edward knows that peoplewalk their dogs, but hewonders why he never sawanyone walking a cat,”you would say, “I knowthat people walk theirdogs, but I wonder why Inever saw anyone walking a cat.” Which waydoes your child want towrite her next story?
