the family at least an hour a week.• Limit “yes/no” questions and ask more

“open-ended” questions about what they are reading.

and non-fiction.

flashcards.• Practice telling time to the hour and half-

hour.• Identify each coin and their value.• Practice skip counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.• Identify the name of shapes located

around you.

LANGUAGE ARTS• Encourage your child to keep a summer
