Letters & Their Sounds
Recognizing Letters & Their Sounds
As you're reading simple picture books with your child, try pointing out characters or objects on the pages and note the letters they start with. For example, you may want to point to the picture of a bear and note that it starts with a 'b' sound, or the letter B.
Have students sort pictures, flashcards, items, or animals that begin with the same letter into piles. Keep it simple by only starting with a few letters (for example: a, f, n, t and b). This can be a revolving and changing activity for the first month of school!

Developing Reading Preferences
Getting to Know Your Readers
As your child begins their reading journey, take time to explore different kinds of books they prefer. Ask your child to share what they like about a book and invite them to share their preferences. Try to make this a regular activity to help build good reading habits for life.
As you get to know your readers, make sure to check in with your students to find out what types of books they like to read and what kinds of books they read at home.
