SKILL SUPPORT:

Here are some simple things you can do to help your child!

*When riding in the car, practice your skip counting. For example, pick a number and count by 5s. Stop counting and have your child continue from that number (and so on). Do this with 2s, 5s, 10s, and 3s. Besides passing the time (and having your child try to “win this game” by counting higher than you), this will help your child become more proficient with skip counting, addition, greater than and less than.

*When riding in the car, read those many signs that you see along the road. Take turns and make this a game. Keep count of who can read the most words correctly the quickest.
