You are your child’s FIRST teacher. What can you do at home?

Talking is one of the best ways to develop language.

Singing helps children hear distinct sounds that make up  words.

Reading books together is the single best way to help children develop early literacy skills.

Writing activities help children learn letter names and sound out new words.

Playing helps children learn how to express themselves, and figure out the meaning of words.
