Your child will soon have an understanding that letters make words and words make sentences that tell a story. Talk about the cover of the book, the beginning, middle and end. Explain what an author does and what an illustrator does. If you send a note to school, make sure it is in an envelope labeled with the name of the person for whom it is intended. If you send money to school, make sure a note is included stating for whom the money is intended and its purpose.
Kindergartners have so much on their minds, they often forget by the time they get to school.
Engaging your child in activities that help make a connection between letters and their sounds will be very beneficial. A child who has been exposed to such activities will have a better understanding of letters and how they work. During registration, Title I will be distributing an activity that can be used to help children make this association. Please be sure to attend kindergarten orientation with your child. This will help you and your child learn more about this new experience.
