Make a big green alligator with household items and help your kindergartener practices letters and sounds!

Create your own set of alphabet blocks: you can make just a few or all 26.

Here's a delightful kindergarten project that will boost your child's reading and writing skills--and make for a happy time on a rainy day, too.

Play a phonics scavenger hunt no matter where you are. This game will have your child sounding out words and finding letter sounds in the objects around them.

Take a nature walk in your backyard or local park to find one object for every letter of the alphabet. Then put them together in this handy nature book.

As your child plays photographer, snapping pictures around the yard, he'll also be practicing recognizing letter sounds, which will help him learn to read.

Build up those kindergarten letter-sound reading skills...and create a whimsical, practical craft at the same time.

This version of the carnival game where you try to toss chips into a cup, to win a fabulous prize, gives kids a boost in early writing and reading.
