Activities

• Write the alphabet down the left side of a piece of paper.  See if your child can think of a word for each letter of the alphabet. 

• Play guessing games such as “I Spy,” “I’m Thinking of Something that Starts with the Letter ___,” and “Twenty Questions.” 

• Have your child read to you (or vice versa) before they go to bed at night. If they find a book they like, have them read the same one again for extra fluency practice.

• Create stories one line at a time, alternating between players. 

• Draw cartoons and practice English by using speech bubbles. 

• Play Categories: each player writes five categories across the top of a piece of paper and five letters of the alphabet down the side. Set a timer for five minutes and try to think of words in each category that begin with the letters you chose.
