List of fun things to do with your child before they enter kindergarten.
Go for a walk and look for letters of the alphabet all around you! For example, two branches on the ground might form the letter T. The goal is to find the letters without having to move items around to create the letter. Mark off each letter as you find it!
How many books will your child read this summer? Reading 4-6 books has the potential to mitigate, stop or even reverse “Summer Slide.” Set a goal for how many books you want to read, keep a tally in a fun, visible way, and plan to celebrate when you reach your goal. Join Booker’s Book Club by posting this emblem and follow Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation on social media to see all of the book selections. Let us know how many your little one(s) read. #BookersBookClubTN #StoptheSlideTN
