Reading every day to your child is so important! Take time to visit the library every few weeks and let your child pick out several books and check them out with their own 'library card'. Then mark the calendar with the due date and use this as an opportunity to teach days of the week and months of the year. Here are the sight words that we will be learing in kindergarten.

The Leap Frog brand has two movies that are especially useful, 'Letter Factory' and 'Word Factory'. We are currently learning the sounds that the letters make, so these movies might be fun to watch.
