Literacy Activities

Perfect for a rainy day or bedtime. Bring a flashlight, turn off the lights, and read your favorite books! 

Write your child's name on a large piece or construction paper. Get some tissue paper or other scrap paper for your child to tear up and scrunch into a ball. Using. glue stick, have them stick the paper onto each letter of their name. 

Spread some flour or salt on a table, placemat or cookie sheet. Use letter cards to practice writing letters or numbers, or practice name writing. 

Grab a paintbrush or a sponge and write words, letters, or draw pictures to tell a story. This is a great outdoor activity for summer! You can even add color to make "paint". 

Shout out a letter and have your child find the letter somewhere in the house! For a challenge, they can go find something that starts with that letter once they know the letter sounds. 

Act out favorite stories together! Create puppets or use drawings to create props. Blocks can be used to build with as well.
