Climb That Food Pyramid and Boost Those Kinder Reading Skills!

Make a Letter T Turtle Treat Tray
Build up those kindergarten letter-sound reading skills while creating a whimsical craft at the same time.

Sequence Those Sentences, A Story Game
For kindergartners, the concept of a story having a beginning, middle, and end is only just starting to make sense. Help your kindergartner develop his story sequencing skills in this activity that teaches him about story parts with sentence strips.

Transition Into Kindergarten with a Routine Book

Build Sentence Puzzles
Does your kindergartener know what a sentence is? Does she keep reading, long after she reaches the period, like she's in a run-on marathon? Help her practice reading, and learn the key pieces to the sentence puzzle, by creating sentence puzzles at home!

A fairy tale just wouldn't be complete without a princess! Help your child develop her story-telling and comprehension skills!
