    Other Ideas:
    • Practice math facts-even for a few minutes at a time, this can be done during commercials while watching Television, while getting ready for bed, or eating breakfast in the morning
    • Have your child find a picture anywhere (magazine, cereal box, etc)-Have them tell you/write you a story including who, what, where, when and why. Let them stretch details in the story.
    • Write down or tell them a word problem and have them decide which operation to use (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
    • Practice spelling words with sand, shaving cream or magnet letters 
    • READ-anything anywhere anytime!!! Let your child build confidence by reading anything from books to websites to labels on food products.
