Environmental Print

Environmental Print is all around us. It's the signs you see while driving. It's the name of the cereal or candy bar printed on the label. Environmental Print is POWERFUL!!! Use it to help teach your child to read. This week, we're studying letter A. Where can your child find the letter A? Albertson's, Arby's, on a one wAy sign, and so much more! Do you sell Avon? Go on a Letter A hunt as you drive or even in your house. You'd be surprised to see what you could find. Talk about where the letter A is in the word. Is it first, in the middle, or last? Does it have a short a sound like in Albertson's? Just helping your child notice the letters and words around him/her a few minutes a day can help him/her become a great reader! Your child will thank you for investing in his/her future!
