The Learn to Read Kids Club is more than just about learning to read. It’s also about having FUN!! Try these creative activities and ideas to strengthen your child’s reading skills and create enjoyable reading experiences for your child.
Reading Tools
Use these handy reference charts and manipulatives to help your child engage in reading activities.
Alphabet & Sound Reference Guide – Children can use this handy letter & sound reference guide whenever they need help remembering the letters of the alphabet and the sounds each letter makes.
Alphabet Flash Cards & Game – Children can color & cut apart these letter cards to create their own flash cards or use the cards in a game. To play a game, place all the cards face down either in a stack or a small pile. Players take turns drawing a card and naming something that starts with that letter.
Make a reading pointer – Using a reading pointer can help children follow the print in the books they are reading more effectively. A reading pointer allows children to focus on one word at a time and brings a kinesthetic element into reading. There are lots of ways to create a reading pointer:
- A fancy eraser attached to the end of a pencil
- Glue a wiggly eye to the end of a popsicle stick
- Color one of these cute characters, cut out and glue or tape to the end of a pencil or popsicle stick.
- Have children cut out a small triangle or star out of construction paper and glue it to a popsicle stick
