Before you throw out those old magazines, STOP and read this blog post… they could help your student learn to read! Purchase a simple notebook and label each page with a letter A-Z. As you look through magazines, let your child cut out pictures from the pages, determine what letter the word starts with, and then glue them on to the correct page. Remember, attention span can be short, so try to do just a few pictures each time that you visit with your child.
If your child has mastered beginning letter sounds, switch things up and look for words that END with certain letters.
