Our family partnership this year will provide the ReadyRosie learning website so you can enjoy powerful learning games and expert videos that support you and your child in his/her learning. ReadyRosie is a free tool that provides meaningful activities and you can do at home with your child. The best part is that each activity/ game is modeled in a 2-minute video, so you and your child can watch together and then do the activity! You also get videos of experts in the field of child development to answer those questions you might have.
Make reading time part of your daily routine with children. Children learn to love the sound of language before they even notice the existence of printed words on a page. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. When the rhythm and melody of language become a part of a child's life, learning to read will be as natural as learning to walk and talk.
