Take a beach ball, a marker, and a first grader. What do you get? An outdoor activity that works on reading comprehension, in the midst of a game of catch!

This activity is a great way to engage learners in Earth Day celebrations while cultivating skills around nonfiction comprehension and research writing.

A new twist on the game of charades will inspire your first grader to look at her favorite books in a whole new light.

Who are the people young readers meet in their books? This reading activity will help your first grader build important comprehension skills.

Representing the story in a visual way makes it easier for your child to compare the traits of various characters.

In this fun fall-themed activity, your child will design and decorate a pumpkin based on a picture book. After completing their pumpkin, they’ll write a short story about a new adventure related to their picture book.
